ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for orienting a magnetic tape head and a tape drive assembly has a frame with a support, and a shaft mounted for rotation around its axis on the support. The first end of the shaft is pivotally mounted on the support, while the second end, also mounted on the support, is movable relative thereof. A motor is provided for rotating the shaft. A head carriage assembly with a magnetic tape head is mounted on the shaft and positioned so that the head lies adjacent magnetic tape which is located in the tape drive assembly. The head carriage assembly moves up and down the shaft when the shaft rotates, and thereby causes upward and downward movement of the head. The apparatus includes an adjuster for adjusting the orientation of the shaft and head carriage assembly. Further, a laser source, reflectors and accurate measuring instruments are provided for accurately setting the tape head to facilitate accurate location of a track on a magnetic tape.
