Abstract
An imaging apparatus has a support shoe with an at-least-partially cylindrical inner surface for receiving a recording media. A rotor is simultaneously rotatable about, and linearly translated along, a fixed axis; and a write head assembly is carried by the rotor to write on recording media received on the inner surface of the support shoe. A pair of disks, having arcuate outer peripheries, are supported within the support shoe for movement with the rotor along the fixed axis on opposed axial sides of the rotor. One of the disks leads the translation of the rotor along the fixed axis as the rotor moves in either axial direction during a write operation. The disks are rotationally fixed relative to the support shoe and have circular outer peripheries.
