Abstract

See full text

An improved rotating disk data storage device is achieved in a combination of an optical encoder to detect data track crossings, a servo sector surface on one of a plurality of rotating data storage disks with the surface being filled with a pattern of alternating bursts which are read for relative amplitude and compared to provide track centerline information. A programmed microprocessor and a rotary actuator for the data transducers combine with the other elements to move the transducers from track to track and keep them on track during data read and write operations.
