A wear compensating transducer is provided for reading optical and magnetic data from documents comprising a magnetic read head with a group of optical fibers passing through the reluctance gap and with the fiber ends disposed for wiping engagement with documents as they are read. The fiber ends define an optical reading aperture which remains substantially constant as the fiber ends wear with the contact surface of the magnetic head.

Wear compensating optical/magnetic transducer

A data capture terminal is disclosed which is particularly applicable for two-way data communications with a remote facility, such as a central data processor. The terminal employs a memory for storing data entered into the memory from various peripherals, such as an information reader, or a manually operated keyboard, or an input/output peripheral, such as a central data processor. Data entered into the memory from one of these peripherals may be communicated to an output peripheral, such as a visual display or a printing mechanism, or to a remote facility.
