Abstract
An arrangement and method of searching a tape at high speeds for a specific recording location with an arcuate scanner includes passing recorded tape past a scanner at a speed significantly higher than a read/write speed. Since the reading by an arcuate scanner of search information recorded at approximately a centerline of a tape is the least affected by changes in speed, compared to information recorded at the top and bottom of a tape, the search information located approximately along the centerline of the recorded tape is read. A specific recording location on the tape is then determined from the search information read.
