ABSTRACT The invention is a self-cleaning head assembly characterized by one or more raised head islands with convex top surfaces and sloped sides, and designed to be used with a recording medium which wraps each island. The machined radius of curvature of the top surface is not less than half the natural curvature of the tape, and the running radius of the head is approximately equal to the natural curvature of the medium. A steep angle of approach between tape and head provides cleaning action, while the small top surface reduces errors due to lift-off and provides superior electrical contact.
