Fundamentals of Magnetic Recording

  • Chapter
Magnetic Recording Handbook

Abstract

In recent years magnetic recording has become a preferred medium for storing information such as printed language, mathematics, sound, and pictures. It is compact, economical, easily updated, and instantly retrievable. Magnetic data banks equivalent to large libraries can be scanned in a few seconds, and the selected information displayed or printed immediately.
