Abstract:
1. A tape library system comprising: a plurality of conductive track assemblies, the each conductive track assembly including at least one linear conductive strip , and at least one guide track associated with each linear conductive strip; and at least a first fiber brush assembly and a second fiber brush assembly separated from each other, the first fiber brush assembly including a first spring biasing a first guide wheel and a first fiber brush attached to the first fiber brush assembly and the second fiber brush assembly including a second spring biasing a second guide wheel, and a second fiber brush attached to the second fiber brush assembly, at least one of the first fiber brush and second fiber brush in electrical contact with the conductive strip wherein each of the first and the second fiber brush assembly linearly translates along the conductive track assembly on an axis parallel to the conductive strip.
