Narrow-Bandwidth Video-Tape Recorder Used in the Tiros Satellite

Joseph A. Zenel

A magnetic tape recorder intended for use as a video recorder, that is, a storage device for television-originated images, has been developed. Extremely smooth tape motion has been obtained within the limited volume and weight permitted a recorder intended for a satellite. This novel design also satisfies the requirement of very low power consumption. Electrical performance and physical characteristics are presented in detail.
