Tone arm side thrust

Rotary friction pulls the stylus toward the centre of the disc even when it is blank. In the groove this means extra pressure on the inner wall. To offset this, bias compensation in the form of a small weight which is lifted on a string or pivoted lever by the inward arm travel, or by attraction from a weak magnet, is provided. |
