Abstract
An air bearing slider for supporting an electromagnetic transducer over a rotating disk. The slider comprises a slider body having a leading edge, a trailing edge and first and second side edges. First and second side rails are positioned along the first and second side edges, respectively, and form air bearing surfaces with inside and outside edges. The inside and outside edges converge from the leading edge to a break and diverge from the break to the trailing edge.
