TWO-HEAD TRACKING CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

A two-head recorder in which information is read from recording tracks which are substantially parallel to each other and which make an angle with the longitudinal axis of a tape-like recording medium. The recorder comprises two heads which are each mounted on a transducer for moving the head as a function of tracking signals for the two heads which appear alternately so that the two heads are alternately centered relative to the recording track. The tracking signals are also applied to a tape speed control circuit in order to control the speed of the tape-like recording medium depending upon the average value of the tracking signals.
