A fluid film bearing particularly suitable for the magnetic recording head of a rotating disk magnetic memory is described. The head has a bearing surface which is adapted to float in very close proximity to a magnetic memory surface moving at a relatively high velocity. The relative velocities are such that a stable film of air, a few tens of micro-inches thick, separates the recording head from the memory element. A conventional stabilizing bearing surface is provided along the leading edge of the plane bearing surface and angulated at a very small angle relative thereto. In the improved bearing a second stabilizing bearing surface is disposed along the leading edge of the first stabilizing bearing surface and angulated relative thereto so as to be at a greater angle relative to the plane bearing surface than is the first stabilizing bearing surface.
