MULTIPLE TRACK DATA RECORDER MULTIPLE TRACK DATA RECORDER

摘要

Apparatus for transversely moving and positioning a segment of a flexible magnetizeable strip to permit access to a specified one of a plurality of data tracks thereon by a data transducer. In a preferred embodiment, the transducer is mounted in a rotating drum partially encircled by the strip and the strip segment is transversely moved by two pairs of parallel bars or cylinders through which the strip runs. In each pair, the strip partially encircles each bar in opposite directions by passing between them. By angling the pairs of bars with respect to the strip itself the portion of the strip between the pairs of bars may be caused to move to desired transverse positions.
