Abstract
A center core for a disc-shaped recording medium. The center core comprises a flange section for supporting the disc-shaped recording medium. A generally cylindrical section having a bottom wall is formed integral with and located radially inward of the flange section. A plurality of supportable standard sections are formed at the bottom wall of the cylindrical section by making a press working on the bottom wall of the cylindrical section in a manner to project toward the lower surface side of the center core. The supportable standard sections define a supportable surface through which the center core is placed on a turn table of a disc drive device.
