A method for quickly and accurately positioning the rotary magnetic heads of a recorder/reader unit. The support for the magnetic heads includes a turntable and a countertable that are circular and that have a common axis of rotation, each including a peripheral support zone and a central support zone. The magnetic heads are situated around the periphery of the turntable. A screw enables the peripheral support zones to be brought into contact with each other and then the central support surfaces to be brought into contact with each other. The invention is applicable to recording and/or reading information on a magnetic tape.

Method of positioning magnetic heads on a turntable

A magnetic head for a digital signal comprises a double winding system in which each winding has one-half wound around a first branch of a U-shaped core and has its other half wound around a second branch so that when an appropriate electrical current is carried by the winding, a magnetic field is created such that the components thereof that are not channelled by the core cancel out giving rise to a zero resultant, while those channelled by the core add together.

Magnetic head having a system of windings for compensating magnetic

The invention relates to a method and to apparatus for quickly and accurately positioning the rotary magnetic heads of a recorder/reader unit. The support for the magnetic heads includes a turntable and a countertable that are circular and that have a common axis of rotation, each including a peripheral support zone and a central support zone. The magnetic heads are situated around the periphery of the turntable.
