Abstract

The apparatus for the visual display of electrical signals recorded on a magnetic medium or support is in the form of a "magnifying glass" which is a plate or sheet of transparent material in which there is a dimple closed by a membrane. The volume of the dimple is filled by a mild ferrite dispersion in a liquid. Under the action of the magnetic field, the ferrite particles are displaced and give an image of the magnetic state of the media.
