Abstract
A data recorder/reproducer device for flexible magnetic disc media, has a door-like structure mounted on a supportive frame. The door structure has a hollow interior which receives a recording disc, and is adapted to carry recording heads at each side of the disc. The heads may be articulated for selective controlled movement toward or away from the disc, into or out of transducing relation. The heads are also mounted for translational movement across the face of the disc, generally radially thereof. The device also includes novel linking means for connecting translational drive means to the heads to allow articulated movement of the heads and of the door-like structure without disturbing the translational position of the heads. Referencing means is also provided for positioning the heads with respect to the surface of the disc by establishing a reference position with respect to the door structure.
