Abstract:
A toroidal-shaped stabilizer mounts a transducer for controlled penetration into a flexible record media, preferably a record disk. The toroidal-shaped stabilizer has a convex surface facing the flexible disk to be stabilized. The convex surface has an apex in an outer radial portion of the toroidal stabilizer. The toroidal stabilizer can be used in either a multiple disk assembly, with a single disk assembly or any nondisk type flexible magnetic record apparatus.
