A magnetic head for writing and/or reading out data into and/or from a magnetic tape has surfaces defining a reference plane for determining a position of an edge of a traveling magnetic tape and defining an inclined plane for urging the magnetic tape to the reference plane, and a tape travel surface defined between the reference and inclined planes. A recess is formed at a portion of the tape travel surface extending along at least one edge of the magnetic tape.

In a compact printer provided with a type wheel having a type belt wound on a cylindrically formed base, a hammer mechanism contained within the type wheel, and a DC motor for operating the type wheel and a paper feed mechanism, the rotational force from the DC motor is transmitted to the type wheel through a spring clutch mechanism and a code plate for generating a timing signal is provided on the side surface of the type wheel so that a solenoid for controlling the spring clutch mechanism is driven by the timing signal.

A printing hammer unit is produced by forming a group of hammers having hammer portions secured to resilient members of electrically conductive material connected together by connecting portions and also forming a base integrally secured to the resilient members at locations thereof spaced apart from the hammer portions, and by removing at least a part of the connecting portions to break the electrical connection between at least one of the resilient members secured to the hammer portions and the other resilient members.
