<p>A magnetic recording apparatus and method for the constant frequency recording of concentric data tracks on a magnetic recording disk in a manner to provide continuously reducing track width and continuously reducing track-to-track spacing from the disk's inner track to the disk's outer track. A magnetic recording head moves on a path from the disk's inner track to the disk's outer track. The head's gap-to-radius skew increases as the head moves from the inner track to the outer track. Thus, the gap's width-projection onto a disk radius at the location of each track continuously decreases in length, from the inner track to the outer track. As the track width progressively decreases, the track-to-track spacing also decreases, to thereby provide higher track density at the disk's outer tracks. A flying head having a parallelogram shaped slider is described, allowing use of the invention in non-contact recording.</p> |
