The Process of the Magnetization of Magnetic Tape

Walter Guckenburg

Methods for making visible a magnetic recording on tape are described. The effect of permanent fields added to the tape magnetization in different directions is shown to prove that the tape magnetization has a prevailing longitudinal character. The method has been refined to provide a resolving power down to a wavelength of less than 0.4 mil, i.e., the bias frequency at 30 ips tape speed, and an exact azimuth measurement within 1 minute of arc.
