ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for recording flexible magnetic disks contained in envelopes comprises a mandrel engageable with a central zone of the disk to rotate the disk within the envelope, and a carriage 41 which is movable radially relative to the disk and on which there is mounted a pair of magnetic heads which oppose each other and make contact with the magnetisable surfaces of the disk. The carriage 41 is moved on guides 48 by a stepping motor shaft 44 by way of a pair of flexible strips 50, 51 which are partly wound about a hub 59 on the shaft 44. The ends of the strips are retained by longitudinal pins 70 loosely fitted into an eccentric bore in the hub 59 without the aid of screws. Pegs 71 on the pins 70 pass through holes in the ends of the strips 50 and 51 and are arrested against the motor shaft 44. A presser pad, which presses the envelope containing the disk against a reference surface of the apparatus, is lowered by an electromagnet which also causes the upper head to lower. A lost-motion form of coupling enables the pad and upper head to carry out independently adjustable travel strokes, so minimising any recoil.
