Abstract
Assembly of a video disc signal recovery stylus apparatus is facilitated by utilizing a stylus holder having a vertical cylindrical end. A conductive leaf spring is inserted in the cylinder followed by a conductive torroidal elastomer. The stylus is then inserted in a hole in the elastomer, all of the parts being held in place by the compressive forces exerted by the elastomer. The second end of the leaf spring is secured to a terminal element which is releasably secured to the stylus arm to provide mobility of the foregoing subassembly during manufacturing. When the subassembly is inserted into a cartridge the terminal element is detached from the stylus arm and inserted into a conformal cavity in the cartridge affording accurate positioning and orientation of the leaf spring.
