Abstract
A cleaning cartridge for a magnetic disk drive has a flexible cleaning pad on a wiper assembly which is rotatable in the base of the cartridge. A knob on the outside edge of the cartridge is moved back and forth to rotate the wiper assembly by a cable attached to the hub. As the assembly rotates, a cam surface forces the flexible pad into engagement with the head to clean it.
