Abstract
To prolong the useful life of a diamond guide element which serves to guide a transducer and which is provided with a contact surface via which the element in use bears against the surface of a record carrier while the carrier moves relative to the element, the element is constructed so that the direction of such relative movement corresponds to a high wear resistance direction of the diamond, and the contact surface thereof is periodically ground in an opposite direction in which it has a lower wear-resistance.
