Abstract

A closed loop servo system for positioning a head relative to a magnetic recording element wherein track crossings are normally utilized to generate a feedback signal to the servo for positioning the head and wherein for a precise indication of head positioning between track crossings the velocity of movement of the head is integrated and fed into the servo system to provide a fine position signal.
