Abstract
A magnetic head loading apparatus serves to load a magnetic head on the surface of a disc-shaped magnetic recording medium rotating continuously so as to perform the recording and reproduction of data. The magnetic head is shifted from unload to load position by means of a drive means. In order to prevent damage to the recording medium due to the collision of the magnetic head with the recording medium, the drive means is so controlled as to cause the magnetic head to decellerate as the magnetic head approaches the load position.
