Abstract
In one illustrated embodiment a generally conical locating member for a transducer head has a guide surface extending thereabout in successive turns of progressively increasing radius. In another embodiment two generally conical sections provide respective axially oppositely directed guide surfaces whose pitch runs in the same direction such that with head locating arms resiliently engaging the respective guide surfaces, the head is always positively locked with the angular position of the conical drive member. With a stepping motor drive, the guide surface or surfaces may comprise successive flat faces each having a tangential extent to compensate for maximum error in stepping angle. The conical members are made by injection molding for least possible cost.
