          Application 08/538,517                                                       

                    having a linear velocity of relative                               
                    movement along the track,                                          
                         means for varying a distance (r)                              
                    between said location and the point of                             
                    rotation, and                                                      
                         control means for controlling the                             
                    drive means and the means for varying,                             
                         characterized in that said control                            
                    means is arranged to control the drive                             
                    means so as to cause the relative angular                          
                    velocity to decrease substantially with                            
                    increasing distance (r), and to cause the                          
                    linear velocity to increase substantially                          
                    with increasing distance (r).                                      
                         19.  A device for scanning an                                 
                    information track on a disc-shaped                                 
                    information carrier, where said track                              
                    includes an innermost track, an outermost                          
                    track, and a multiplicity of tracks                                
                    therebetween, comprising:                                          
                         scanning means for scanning a location                        
                    on the information track,                                          
                         drive means for causing relative                              
                    rotation at an angular velocity between the                        
                    location and the information carrier, about                        
                    a point of rotation, the location thereby                          
                    having a linear velocity of relative                               
                    movement along the track,                                          
                         means for varying a distance (r)                              
                    between said location and the point of                             
                    rotation, and                                                      
                         control means for controlling the drive                       
                    means and the means for varying,
