Abstract

An apparatus, according to one embodiment, includes at least two write transducers positioned a predefined distance apart in a first direction. Outer surfaces of pole tips of the write transducers are substantially coplanar. Write gaps are defined between the pole tips of the write transducers. Planes of the write gaps are oriented substantially perpendicular to the first direction. Coils are positioned to create flux in a magnetic yoke of each write transducer upon energization thereof. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for assisting in orienting a module having two or more sensors of interest relative to the write gaps.
