                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                            
                  The examiner rejected claims 40-55.  The appellant

                                             BACKGROUND

            and retrieves data from concentric tracks of a rotatable                                   
            magnetic disk.  A transducer is moved from track-to-track to
