E. Figure 2-10 depicts an azimuth of exactly minus 9, 12, or 18 minutes, depending upon
the manufacturer of the diskette used. This is the lower limit of allowable azimuth error.

should be checked prior to any corrective action.
G. After the lower head has been checked, switch to read on the upper head and observe
the azimuth pattern. Both the upper and lower heads should be within the specification.
