1. An apparatus, comprising: a pivot assembly pivotably supporting a head carriage assembly; a motor coupled to the head carriage assembly for rotatably positioning the head carriage assembly about an axis of skew which extends perpendicular to a plane defined by an intended direction of media movement across the head carriage assembly and a direction of fine motion of the head carriage assembly, the fine motion direction being oriented perpendicular to the intended direction of media movement; a linear assembly supporting the pivot assembly and the head carriage assembly, the linear assembly being configured to move along the fine motion direction; and a first flexure extending from the head carriage assembly to the linear assembly, the first flexure permitting the rotatable positioning of the head carriage assembly about the axis of skew, the first flexure resisting pitching movement of the head carriage assembly relative to the linear assembly.
