Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records?

I am picking up a pivoted tonearm without any provision for bias (anti-skate) force. I would appreciate opinons on if using this arm can damage my records or phono cartridge due to the lack of this feature. Thanks.

Similar to an old Garrard arm back in the '60s or was that another company. Still, in this case, I guess AS would really be difficult and unnecessary. Salut, Bob P.

The RSA1 is a different animal.
