Abstract
A method of aligning a multiple transducer magnetic head with respect to a magnetic recording tape. Values related to the offset of each transducer from a reference location are determined, using reference signals on the tape. From these values the amount of compensation required to accurately position any particular transducer with respect to any track can be calculated. By a preferred selection of the reference for one such offset value, and by taking known design of the head into account, simplified processing of the values is possible.
