a magnetic head having a control portion provided integrally with an opposing surface located opposing the recording surface of a magnetic disc or a head mount for generating a negative pressure between the control portion and the magnetic disc to attract the magnetic disc towards the magnetic head , thereby generating an adequate and sufficient negative pressure in the vicinity of the magnetic head and achieving a good head touch . this configuration enables compact design of the mechanism and an increased recording area of the magnetic disc compared with the case in which a magnetic head and a negative pressure generation type stabilizing plate to attract the magnetic disc towards the magnetic head are separately disposed , and eliminates the need for procedures for separate positioning of the individual magnetic head and stabilizing plate , thereby achieving a considerable reduction in manufacturing steps and production cost .
