Abstract: A magnetic disk storage device capable of avoiding the occurrence of vibration of magnetic disks and off-track of magnetic heads with respect to the magnetic disks, including an inner shroud enclosing a disk assembly composed of a multiplicity of magnetic disks stacked in superposed relation with spacers being interposed therebetween and formed at its outer peripheral wall with first ports for inserting access arms therethrough and at its top above a spindle supporting the disk assembly with a second port, a cylindrical filter for removing dust from air flowing through the second port of the inner shroud into the interior thereof, and a dust cover enclosing the inner shroud, actuators and filter. The provision of the inner shroud is conductive to prevention of development of turbulent air flow in the vicinity of the magnetic disks.

Abstract: A driving mechanism for magnetic hard disc memories includes an isolated space for maximum cleanness from the remainder of the apparatus, a driving motor mounted within the apparatus and having a stator and a rotor, the motor when energized having parts producing magnetic flux, a hub extending into the space of maximum cleanness for receiving therein at least one magnetic hard memory disc, a connection between the motor and the hub for driving the hub, and a magnetic flux shield located between the parts producing the magnetic flux and the space of maximum cleanness.

Abstract: Improved disk drive equipment is illustrated, being characterized by improved partitioning means for partitioning a stack of flexible magnetic recording disks axially (end-wise).

Abstract: Techniques and associated apparatus for a magnetic disk transducing system adapted to record along spiral tracks in a Herringbone pattern, using a pair of orthogonal skew gaps, operating in tandem.

Abstract: A multielement magnetic head is formed with a closure section having a nonmagnetic ceramic substrate on which a thin layer of magnetic ferrite is deposited and processed. The thin ferrite layer is cut to define the separate transducing elements and data track separation. The closure section is joined to a wafer formed from a ferrite substrate and a thin film conductive coil means.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of recording a television signal of the kind in which the signal is recorded on a relatively slowly moving tape in a plurality of inclined tracks by a plurality of recording heads carried at the periphery of a head wheel rotating at a relatively high speed in a plane non-parallel to the direction of tape motion. The head wheel executes m complete revolutions for each n complete television pictures, where the ratio m/n is non-integral, and control signals having a frequency of 1/n of the picture frequency are recorded along a longitudinal control track by a fixed head. For recording signals according to the 625 line European standard, m is chosen to be 25 and n is chosen to be 2. For the U.S. 525 line standard, m is 21 and n is 2. In both cases 25 lines per track are recorded.

Abstract: An assembly for adjusting the azimuth (rotational) orientation of a magnetic tape head with respect to the chassis of a tape player is disclosed. A planar portion of a first plate is welded to the top side of a tape head and an adjustment screw is threaded through a bent portion of this plate. A planar portion of a resilient second plate is bonded to the bottom side of the tape head and a hollow cylindrical member is mounted to a bent portion of the second plate such that the resiliency of the second plate biases the hollow cylinder toward the adjustment screw. The hollow cylinder is slidably mounted on a guide post which is rigidly mounted to the chassis of a tape player. By means of the adjustment screw the angular disposition of the tape head with respect to the hollow cylinder, and thereby with respect to the tape player chassis, is altered.
