摘要

: A slot type disc recorder and/or player apparatus is disclosed having a disc drive spindle and a member for supporting a disc for in-and-out sliding movement edgewise in its own plane in a transverse path relative to the spindle axis. The member has a V-shaped surface symmetrically located with respect to the spindle to support a disc for sliding movement along the path by engaging the disc only at its edges. Also disclosed is a pivotable mounting for the member for locating the path of movement so that the disc clears an end of said spindle when the disc is inserted or removed.
