Abstract
Apparatus and method for controlling a magnetic head carriage while reading or writing data on a magnetic disc by the use of a pair of heads having zero intertrack spacing and having azimuth angles of plus and minus 45.degree. with the circumference of the disc to sense the timing and phasing of sector sync pulses recorded on the disc and, from such timing phasing, as read by the heads, the rotational position of the disc and the radial position of the head carriage, to generate an appropriate head carriage servo signal which compensates for eccentricity of the disc.
