Abstract:
A magnetic recording apparatus for the azimuthal recording of data to and from data storage tracks, wherein said magnetic recording apparatus includes a magnetic data recording head assembly, said magnetic recording apparatus comprising:a magnetic recording head centrally located within said magnetic data recording head assembly;control means within said magnetic data recording head assembly, coupled to at least one left servo sensor, wherein said at least one left servo sensor is located to the left of and external to said magnetic recording head; andcontrol means within said magnetic data recording head assembly, coupled to at least one right servo sensor, wherein said at least one right servo sensor is located to the right of and external to said magnetic recording head, such that said left and right servo sensors assist said magnetic recording head to tilt and rotate at a predetermined angle with respect to a particular data storage track while recording said data storage track during a recording operation, thereby increasing recording density and providing efficient azimuthal recording.
