Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8301859A1] In a magnetic disc for a magnetic disc storage system, at least one of the surfaces of the disc being coated with a magnetic material, the disc being adapted to be mounted on a spindle for rotation relative to a magnetic transducer positioned for recording data on and retrieving data from the surface, a plurality of concentric annular tracks (2, 1, 0, 15) being defined on the surface of the disc, each of the tracks being divided into a plurality of sectors, each such sector having associated therewith prerecorded data for identification thereof, the prerecorded identification data including a track identification code, the track identification code being a unit distance code, there is disclosed a method for recording the unit distance track identification code wherein the code has a first uni-directional clock transition (61) at a fixed time in each bit cell and a second uni-directional transition (N-N) at a variable time in each bit cell, the time of the second transition relative to the first transition determining whether the data bit is a one or a zero.
