    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide the liquid bearing type data recording disk file which minimizes the stiction and has the improved head/disk boundary surface that minimizes the consumption of the lubricant from a disk. CONSTITUTION: The improved head/disk boundary surface is provided by a converter carrier 100 which has a new characteristic. The carrier 100 supports a conventional type head 109. The carrier 100 has an air bearing surface located at the front edge, a ski pad 118 located at the rear edge and plural ski legs or struts 120 and 122 which separate air bearing surface rails 110 and 112 from a disk liquid coated film and support while the disk file is not operated. When an operating speed is reached, the air bearing brings up and separates the disk from a struts and the rear section ski pad becomes the only ski leg on a liquid coated film. A projected front edge 124 of the rear section ski pad is wider than a rear edge 130.
