Abstract
In a video signal reproducing apparatus, a cantilevered bi-morph leaf is secured at one end to a rotary support, for example, a rotary portion of a guide drum about which a magnetic tape is helically wrapped, a transducer is mounted at the other end of the bi-morph leaf for reproducing a video signal recorded in one of a plurality of successive parallel tracks extending obliquely across the magnetic tape with the transducer being deflectable transverse to the direction of the tracks upon flexing of the cantilevered bi-morph leaf from a rest condition, and a damper is engageable with the other end portion of the bi-morph leaf for dampering free oscillations due to bending forces applied to such leaf.
