Abstract: Apparatus for positioning and attaching a reinforcing ring in coaxial relationship to a floppy disk, includes a force translating mechanism mounted for movement to and from a resiliently mounted circular receiving member. A cylindrical positioning member, connected to the force translating mechanism, has first and second concentric reference surfaces corresponding respectively to the inner diameter of the reinforcing ring, which is carried by the force translating member, and the inner diameter of the floppy disk, which is disposed about the receiving member.
