ABSTRACT:
A high speed information read/write system includes a substantially cylindrical information storing device including at least one storage cylinder having at least one information storage medium thereon. A head device including at least one head cylinder is disposed coaxially with the storage cylinder and has a plurality of head members mounted thereon. An information input/output device outputs information to the information storage medium of the storage cylinder through the head device and inputs the information from the information storage medium through the head device. A drive device rotates the information storing device and effects a relative movement between the information storing device and the head device. Preferably, a plurality of head members are assembled as a head unit, and the head cylinder has head mounting portions with abutment structures which are adapted to mount the head units thereon in such a manner that, when the head units are mounted on the head mounting portions properly to abut against the abutment structures, all of the head members of the head units are disposed in a helical fashion around the information storage medium of the storage cylinder. The head member may be an optical head or magnetic head.
