ABSTRACT:
A method is presented to rotate a read/write head rotatable along a first axis and comprising a first assembly having a first servo element and a second servo element. The method moves a sequential information storage medium adjacent to the read/write head along a second axis, wherein the second axis is substantially orthogonal to the first axis, and determines the rotation angle for the read/write head with respect to the sequential information storage medium using the first servo element and the second servo element. The method then positions the read/write head with respect to the second axis based upon the rotation angle.
