Abstract

A device for locating a desired information track on an information carrier, after an information transducer has been passed over the information tracks on the carrier in the transverse direction in response to a starting pulse, which utilizes a control signal that is derived from the alternating voltage thus obtained, to keep the relative velocity of the transducer relative to the information tracks constant.
