A floppy disc structure comprises a magnetic disc which is rotatably disposed in a rectangular casing. At points where a gripping arrangement grasps the floppy disc in order to draw the same into a floppy disc drive unit automatically, spacers are provided which prevent compression of the casing, the spacers being disposed between the inner surfaces of the walls of the casing. The spacers are approximately the thickness of the magnetic disc.

A mosaic printing head for typewriters, data printers, teleprinters and the like, utilizing dot-producing pin-like printing elements for recording characters in the form of a dot pattern upon a data carrier, employing a plurality of dot forming elements, each of which is adapted to be actuated by an elongated, piezoelectric transducer which is subjected to electric fields in rapid succession to effect changes in the length of each transducer and thereby produce driving forces upon the associated element.
