Abstract
An air bearing magnetic head slider includes a slider body carrying a preselected write/read device thereon. A preselected air stream flows in the vicinity of one major surface of the slider body during operation. At least a pair of side rails are formed on the major surface of the slider body and extend along the air stream. A cross rail connects the air inlet ends of the side rails. The side rails each is formed with preselected grooves each of which is delimited by the bottom wall substantially parallel to the major surface of the slider body and side walls connecting the bottom wall and the surface of the side rail. The bottom wall and each side wall are inclined by an angle of less than 90 degrees relative to each other.
