360, Dynamic Magnetic Information Storage or Retrieval, which is an integral part of Class 369, following

18, for record carriers and systems wherein information is stored and retrieved by interaction with a medium and there is relative motion between a medium and a transducer (e.g., magnetic disk drive devices and control thereof, per se). See Class 360, subclass 72.2 for addressing and control of recording mechanism to locate the selected area.

369, Dynamic Information Storage or Retrieval, various subclasses for record carriers and systems wherein information is stored and retrieved by interaction with a medium and there is relative motion between a medium and a transducer. Particularly, see

30, 34 for selective addressing of dynamic storage medium.
