摘要:
A cutting stylus is positioned with respect to a metal substrate in order to cut a groove. The cutting stylus is vibrated about a quiescent position in response to a relatively high frequency signal while cutting the groove in order to cut an information track comprising short wavelength modulation of the groove depth. Relative motion is established between the metal substrate and the cutting stylus such that the information track is cut along a spiral path. The relative motion is varied in a predetermined manner as the stylus cuts across the surface of the metal substrate such that the spiral information track is formed having a varying pitch to reduce the formation of damaging ridges on the cutting edge of the stylus.
摘要:
A cartridge for a video disc stylus having a stylus-position sensor, including an electrode mounted to the cartridge walls. An appendage is provided on the cartridge wall to position the sensor electrode proximate the stylus, the appendage being contoured to accept a preformed sensor electrode. The sensor electrode is formed from sufficiently resilient material to recover from deformation during electrode-appendage engagement and constrain itself to a particular position in the cartridge by compressive forces developed between the electrode and the appendage.
