Abstract:
A tape drive-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: using information read from one or more servo bands on a magnetic tape to position a magnetic tape head relative to the magnetic tape. An array of data transducers is positioned along the magnetic tape head, the array extending perpendicular to a direction of travel of the magnetic tape. Moreover, a group of servo readers is positioned at each end of the array of data transducers. A distance between each of the immediately adjacent servo readers in each of the groups of servo readers is less than or equal to one third of a prespecified width of each of the servo bands. Furthermore, the distance between each of the servo readers in each of the groups and the prespecified width are both measured in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the magnetic tape.

Claim (Index 8):
The tape drive-implemented method as recited in  claim 7 , comprising:\n determining whether a second servo reader of the one of the groups of servo readers is oriented over the timing based servo pattern; and in response to determining that the second servo reader of the one of the groups of servo readers is oriented over the timing based servo pattern:\n using the servo readers to read the one or more of the servo bands includes:\n reading information from the timing based servo pattern with the second servo reader of the one of the groups of servo readers, and \n \n using the information read from the one or more of the servo bands to position the magnetic tape head relative to the magnetic tape includes:\n determining a lateral position of the magnetic tape head relative to the magnetic tape using: the information read from the timing based servo pattern by the second servo reader of the one of the groups of servo readers; \n determining a velocity of the magnetic tape using: the information read from the timing based servo pattern by the second servo reader of the one of the groups of servo readers; \n determining a skew of the magnetic tape head relative to the magnetic tape; and \n determining tape dimensional stability information corresponding to the magnetic tape.
