The article says : "The earliest hard disks had no flying height; their heads were in contact with the media.[citation needed]" |

Citation needed indeed, this seems like a bad idea. And from the article on the history of HDDs, flying heads allowed the heads to be closer to the platters, so I'm guessing that before this improvement the heads were farther from the media, like a CD lens, not in contact.
