Abstract
A system for increasing areal recording density in linear magnetic recording systems employs a continuous servo track and an azimuth recording technique. The system comprises multiple motors that displace parallel read/write heads at supplementary angles to the servo track when the head is positioned over adjacent data tracks. The resultant tracks may be very closely spaced together without loss of accurate tracking.
