ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus for orienting a magnetic tape head in a tape drive assembly adapted to receive a magnetic tape with tracks thereon, the apparatus comprises a frame having plate support means, and a shaft member having an axis and mounted for rotation about its axis on the plate support means. The shaft member has a first end pivotably mounted on the plate support means, and a second end mounted on the plate support means and movable relative thereto, such movement causing pivoting of the shaft member at its first end. No apparatus includes a motor for rotating the shaft member about its axis, and a head carriage assembly including magnetic tape head mounted on the shaft member, the head being positioned in the tape drive assembly such that the head lies adjacent magnetic tape adapted to be received in the tape drive assembly. The head carriage assembly being movable over the shaft member in response to rotation whereby the head moves linearly in a direction substantially normal to movement of the tape to permit the head to locate and align with the tracks on the tape. An adjuster member is provided, having a securing portion adapted to be moved with respect to and secured to the plate support, and a connecting portion adapted to engage and move the second end of the shaft member. Movement of the securing portion adjusts the orientation of the shaft member and head carriage
