Abstract: The invention concerns methods and apparatus for establishing accurate positioning and registration of master and duplicate magnetic record media during a magnetic transfer operation to insure compatibility of each kind of media in a utilization device. The invention is particularly useful with media having magnetic signals recorded according to a Boustrophedonic pattern. Such a pattern is created when the record head traces a signal path having a plurality of tracks with, as an example, tracks 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. recorded left to right, tracks 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. recorded right to left, and wherein the head steps a fixed distance at the end of each track.

Abstract: The invention concerns apparatus for making a plurality of duplicate copies from master recordings by using a magnetic transfer technique, particularly involving the steps of applying pressure between a master media and a blank copy media, thereafter moving an assembly of permanent magnets across the superimposed media to effect transfer of the information from the master media to the copy media by utilizing a one-way clutch mechanism interposed between the driving mechanisms and the permanent magnet assembly, all of the foregoing being accomplished by movement of a single operating member accessible to the operator and subsequently, due primarily to the clutch relationship with the permanent magnet assembly, releasing the magnet assembly at the end of its travel, thereby reducing inertia effects that would otherwise be objectionable from a loading standpoint.

Abstract: Educational apparatus in the form of a recording/reproducing unit accommodates a record media comparable in size to the familiar IBM tabulation card. The media has printed information on one side such as questions and answers, circuit diagrams, etc. that are visible to the user when in operating position and recorded information on the opposite side positioned for scanning by a transducer during playback and record modes. Preferably, the media has either the visible information or the magnetically stored information, or both, divided into blocks of convenient size representing different questions, multiple choice answers, or the like, with the recorded information and the visible information correlated with one another. Programming structures are provided in the apparatus enabling the user to roughly scan toward a selected block of information on the media but defining a plurality of program stops arranged adjacent the beginning of each of the blocks of information and facilitating the positioning of the transducer with respect to the first track in a selected block.

Abstract: A transducer is driven in reciprocating motion relative to a recording medium for scanning the medium by attaching a band having apertures therein to the transducer. Rotating means has means to engage the apertures in the band to provide positive engagement between the rotating means and the band. The direction of rotation of the rotating means is reversed at each end of scanning by the transducer. The change in direction of rotation of the rotating means is accomplished through a pivotally mounted member that locks a ball retaining member against rotation.

Abstract: The present invention concerns dictation and transcription apparatus having convenient and efficient structures for loading, feeding, and ejecting disc record members. In exemplary embodiments, the disc record members are stored in a disc cartridge enabling convenient transportation and storage when not in use. Both dictation and transcription apparatus are provided with a load station, a record/playback station, and an eject (unload) station. Provision is made in the apparatus for accommodating any of a plurality of standard disc cartridges at the load station enabling convenient manual loading by an operator of the apparatus. Following the loading of discs into the apparatus, the cartridge is thereupon moved to the eject (unload) station and serves to receive the discs, one by one, as they are processed in the apparatus.

Abstract: The present case is directed to a cartridge suitable for a disc recording member, as an example. In a preferred embodiment, provision is made for feeding discs into the cartridge from the side and ejecting discs from the front of the cartridge. The cartridge has a manual kicker for ejection of discs by the operator. Usually, discs are placed in the cartridge one at a time but facilities are included that enable entry of a plurality of discs through the eject opening by use of an incline member cooperating with a retaining spring.
