Abstract
Abstract Magnetic recording apparatus for a photographic still camera comprises a magnetic head (60) mounted on a flexure attached to the rear door of the camera. The head is positioned so that when the rear door of the camera is closed, it will enter an opening (64) in the cartridge lip (18) and engage the film (20). The portion (d) of the lip (18) and the plush material (c) underlying the film (20) provides a complient support for the film.
