Abstract

A tangential pick-up device for a gramophone turn-table comprises a pick-up head on a support connected by a floating articulation to a carriage which is driven along a radially-disposed arm by a servo-control device to hold the support in a reference position. The floating articulation of the support, e.g. by a guided pivot member, is arranged so that shocks or vibrations tend to cause pivoting of the support about two axes disposed radial and perpendicular to a disc and intersecting adjacent the pick-up needle, whereby jumping of the needle is avoided.
