Abstract
The invention relates to devices for optically transcribing in a track carried by a support medium data to be written in or read out. The invention provides a pre-engraved track follower device for a transcription device in which a loop for radial control of the reading spot scanning the track is provided with sampling means taking samples during scanning of nonpost-engraved parts of a pre-engraved track, said scanning corresponding to a data write or read phase. The invention applies more particularly for digital data transcription devices using a single spot for locating a pre-engraved track and since optically writing data therein.
