TL;DR: A magnetic tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus provided with a reversible motor, a rotary member rotated by the motor, an operating mode changer connected to the rotary members to change the operating mode of the apparatus, a tape loader movable in reciprocation between an inoperative position where a magnetic tape can be drawn out from a cassette and an operative position where the tape is drawn out and then wound onto a guide drum, and a drive driven intermittently by the Rotary member to cause the tape loader to reciprocate between the inoperative and operative positions, and

TL;DR: In this paper, a load beam is attached to an actuator arm that is allowed to rock around a pivotal axis by a voice coil motor, and a slider supporting member is supported by a protrusion placed on the free end side of the load beam so as to be freely pivot thereon.

TL;DR: An information recording/reproducing device comprises a rotor assembly formed of a disc portion having information recording layer provided on the main surface and an axle portion, the disc portion being connected at the center of a surface opposite to the main surfaces with the rotating axle so that the rotating axis crosses at right angle with the main ground surface of disc portion at the centre of rotation, a bearing for supporting the axle of disc part freely rotatable, a rotating magnet fixed to a rotor yoke, a stator disposed opposing to the rotating magnet, and a motor for rotating the disc part with the

TL;DR: In this paper, a disk drive is defined based on a first straight line tangent to both an outermost rim of the rotating means and an outer periphery of the recording medium.

TL;DR: A head support mechanism includes a head and a slider for holding the head, and main drive means tracks the head as discussed by the authors, and an auxiliary drive means composed of thin film, whose flexure can move the head finely.
