Abstract
A fly off transducer platform or carrier according to the invention comprises a carrier for supporting at least one read/write transducer for a data carrier and at least one skid defining a flight surface comprising a first surface which provides the said platform with its lift when it is flying above the said data carrier and a second, bevelled surface situated at the front of the flight surface with reference to the direction of movement of the data carrier in relation to the transducer carrier. The bevelled surface includes a rim at the leading edge thereof, and said rim, transversely to the said direction of movement, is greater at the front edge of the said bevelled surface than its rear such that an increased bevel surface area is provided to enhance lift.
