Claims
- 1. In a rotational magnetic head apparatus of a drum rotating system including a fixed drum having a guiding offset portion for guiding a magnetic tape along an outer periphery of the fixed drum; said fixed drum also including an annular end surface,
- a rotational drum having an end surface facing said fixed drum and mounted for rotation about a central longitudinal axis of said fixed drum, said rotational drum having an opening formed on said end surface facing the annular end surface of said fixed drum, said opening having an uppermost surface extending generally parallel to the end surface of said rotational drum,
- a magnetic head and means for mounting said magnetic head to the apparatus in said opening of said rotational drum, said tape being wound around the outer periphery of said fixed drum and said rotational drum at a predetermined angle for travel in sliding contact with said magnetic head, the improvement wherein
- the position of said magnetic head is selected to be in the center between and in relation to said uppermost surface of said opening of said rotational drum facing said fixed drum and said annular end surface of said fixed drum opposing said uppermost surface, such center positioning of the magnetic head resulting in alignment in a travel direction of the head of a convex deformation in the tape with adjacent forward and rearward concave deformed tape portions, caused by said head, with a central longitudinal axis extending parallel to sides of said tape.
- 2. The head apparatus of claim 1, wherein the distance between the uppermost surface of the opening in the rotational drum and an upper end surface of the magnetic head is approximately equal to the distance between the annular end surface of the fixed drum and a lower end surface of the magnetic head.
- 3. The head apparatus of claim 2, wherein said mounting means is used to mount said magnetic head to the rotational drum.
