Abstract

In a system mounting a transducer on the end of a frame for sweeping motion displacement laterally to a track on a record surface, the frame has arms connected to a fixed support. The frame may include a torsion member connected to a driver for rotation therewith and a rigid member rigidly connected to the free ends of the arms causing the frame arms to form an "S" shaped curve. The transducer is connected to a mounting member rigidly connected to the free end of the frame. The frame causes the transducer to remain in an orientation at a selected angle to the record surface.
