Zusammenfassung:Apparatus is described for oscillating the read/write head carriage of a rotary drive mechanism for data storage disc pack. An optical sensing device is employed to determine the angular phase and frequency of rotation of the disc pack, and a phase discriminator compares the sensed frequency with the output of an oscillator to phase-lock the oscillator thereto. The resulting oscillation signal is fed to an electromagnetic actuator to cause oscillation of the read/write head in synchronism with the rotation of the disc pack.
