Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for positioning a plurality of scanning devices, in particular magnetic heads, over preselected tracks on a stack of at least two rotatable recording disks in a memory processing unit, in which apparatus the single-beam section of the supporting arm of the magnetic heads has been produced integral with the head tower and is provided with mounting means for at least one magnetic head on a spring-supporting means, in particular for a pair of magnetic heads previously connected to one another, so that it is possible to replace any head or pair of heads. The apparatus can be used in magnetic storage systems, industrial production equipment etc.
