DEFINITION

Classification: 369/37

Radial array:

(under subclass 36) Subject matter wherein the mechanical array holds the storage discs in a nonparallel pattern or

spacing, which pattern may have characteristic lines with a common center.

(1) Note. Either the array or retrieval station may move for selective positioning.

(2) Note. The diameter of each disc in a common plane may be seen to radiate from the same center.

(3) Note. The array classified here may be merely a segment or a portion, or an entire circumference.

(4) Note. Arrays of small groups of discs, possibly parallel within each group but spaced radially group to group are classified here.

(5) Note. This subject matter absent storage medium designation is classified in subclass 192 and cross-reference thereto should not be made in the absence of a nonselective embodiment.
