Tape recording
THE BASIC SYSTEM
In principle, the recording of an alternating electrical signal as a series of magnetic fluctuations on a continuous magnetisable tape would not appear to be a difficult matter, since it could be done by causing the AC signal to generate corresponding changes in the magnetic flux across the gap of an electromagnet, and these could then be impressed on the tape as it passes over the recording electromagnet head.
In practice, however, there are a number of problems, and the success of tape recording, as a technique, depends upon the solution of these, or, at least, on the attainment of some reasonable working compromise. The difficulties which exist, and the methods by which these are overcome, where possible, ...
