MAGNETIC RECORDING STANDARDS

Abstract

This study was made of the binder solubility characteristics of magnetic recording tapes to compare their solubility to their wear properties. The results show a correlation between wear and solvent resistance, and indicate the possibility of being able to classify a tape as to having good, average or poor wear properties by means of these solvent tests. This suggests that a very simple, inexpensive and rapid control method might be developed as a result of these studi s. The work on the magnetic tape recording process was largely confined to a study of available data in an attempt to correlate it with theoretically derived recording models. The data studied included bulk tape measurements, frequency (or wavelength) response curves, effects of bias amplitude on short wavelength response, and phase-shift effects apparently due solely to recording geometries.
