Magnetic drum/head system for selectively generating recorded voice information

Magnetic drum/head system for selectively generating a recorded voice information comprising:

• a. a magnetic drum having a magnetic layer on a circumference of a cylindrical drum body, said magnetic drum having a recording zone occupying a substantial circumference of said magnetic drum and a non-recording zone between a starting end of the recording zone and an terminating end of said recording zone,
• b. driving means for selectively rotating said magnetic drum,
• c. a magnetic head contacting with an information track formed on said magnetic drum for generating the recorded voice information,
• d. a carriage for holding said magnetic head in an abutment relation to said magnetic drum,
• e. detection means for detecting said non-recording zone being in a predetermined position so that said magnetic drum is stopped with the non-recording zone thereof being in a confronting relation to said magnetic head,
• f. carriage driver means for selectively moving said carriage relative to said magnetic drum when said magnetic head is in a confronting relation to said non-recording zone, thereby shifting the position of said magnetic head to a selected information track of said magnetic drum, and
• g. electric circuit means for amplifying and voicing the recorded information.
