Head assembly for magnetic recorders

A head assembly for a dual flexible disc magnetic recorder, each disc having defined on its recording surface a plurality of concentric recording tracks for the storage of information thereon, said head assembly comprising:

• mounting bracket means;
• a pair of head carriages, each including a recording head affixed thereto;
• means for releasably attaching each of said head carriages to said mounting bracket means, with its respective head operatively abutting the recording surface of one of said discs;
• means connected to said mounting bracket means for moving said mounting bracket means radially with respect to the recording discs to enable the positioning of said head on any given track defined on its respective said recording disc;
• and
• adjustment means connected to each of said carriages for individually adjusting the radial position of each head carriage with respect to its associated disc independently of the movement of said mounting bracket means by said means for moving in order for said heads to be simultaneously positionable by said mounting bracket means on corresponding tracts on their respective discs, said adjustment means for each head carriage comprising an adjustment screw disposed through a pair of first bores respectively defined in said mounting bracket means and said head carriage, means for limiting movement of said adjustment screw in said first bore of said mounting bracket means such that said adjustment screw is allowed to have only rotative movement with respect to said mounting bracket means, and a screw fastening means mounted in a second bore defined in said head carriage and fastened to said adjustment screw such that the turning of such adjustment screw causes said screw fastening means and thus the head carriage and head thereon to be moved in an inward or outward direction relative to said mounting bracket means and thus radially with respect to the recording disc corresponding to said head carriage.
