Abstract

A device for reading and writing of information on a magnetic medium such as a disk or tape comprises at least one reading and writing head placed on a base having a catamaran type profile. The head is composed of a magnetic circuit (a winding on a medium) self-positioned and welded to the walls of a hole made in the base, a flow concentrator in contact with the extremities of the magnetic circuit and a pole piece made up of two magnetic parts separated by a magnetic spacer. The pole piece is positioned opposite to the track of the magnetic medium.
