Abstract
A head transport assembly includes a sled supporting a magnetic head for movement along a guide path generally oriented toward the drive spindle of a drive motor. The sled, which is supported against a guide rod defining the guide path, includes two adjustment points along the guide rod--a first adjustment point proximate the head and a second adjustment point outboard of the first in relation to the drive spindle. By acting on the first point to pivot the sled about the second point, the head is brought onto a true radial path intersecting the center of the drive spindle. The azimuth of the head is next adjusted by acting on the second point to pivot the sled about the first point until the desired azimuth angle is obtained.
