ABSTRACT:
There is disclosured a read/write head carriage assembly for a data storage device such as a floppy disk drive. The carriage assembly includes a base which is movable, relatively, in a linear direction parallel to the plane of the recording medium. A head support arm is pivoted at one end with respect to the base. First and second magnetic transducers are mounted in opposed relationship on the base and on the free end of the support arm, respectively. The two transducers are gimbal-mounted to permit self alignment to the recording medium.
