Abstract
A capacitance detection type record stylus comprises a body of artificial diamond having flat faces lying parallel to the crystal planes {111} and {100} wherein adjoining identical crystal planes are either {111} or {100}. A crystal plane {110} is formed between any two of the adjoining identical crystal planes by lapping the edge between them. A conductive material is deposited on the crystal plane {110} to form an electrode for detecting signals recorded as geometric variations on a recording medium. Because of the aligned carbon atoms beneath the crystal plane {110}, a substantial amount of the conductive material penetrates deeply into the diamond making the electrode resistant to wear.
