Abstract

A disc master, coated with an electron sensitive material, is secured to a turntable which is rotatably mounted within a vacuum chamber. A recorder column protrudes into the vacuum chamber for directing a signal representative electron beam toward the disc master. The recorder column is mounted on a carriage for translational motion along a path radially disposed with respect to the center of rotation of the turntable in correlation with the rotational motion of the turntable. A column set-up stage is mounted within the vacuum chamber, adjacent the outside perimeter of a turntable supported disc master, and in registration with the coated surface of the disc master. The recorder column is aligned with the set-up stage for determining beam characteristics, such as: beam current, shape, quality, etc., and for properly focusing the electron beam.
