Abstract
This invention provides a reference member for supporting and giving reference positions to principal components, i.e. a feed roller for transporting magnetic cards, a driver for driving said feed roller and a member for pressing magnetic cards against the feed roller. Further the reference member supports a card support for placing the magnetic card by one side of the support, the pressing member through a biasing member, and a magnetic head for information writing or reading. A limiting member for blocking the displacement of the magnetic head is composed as a part of the pressing member, and a lateral pressure plate and a counter-plate are provided to ensure stable transport of the magnetic card. In this manner error in information writing or reading are prevented by a simplified composition.
