Abstract

Apparatus for producing a magnetic image in a magnetic image storage medium. The apparatus includes a thin-film magnetic web with a pole-defining face and a second thin-film blanket magnetically spaced from the first magnetic web and having a second surface defining a second pole face. Spaced from the pole faces is a diamagnetic spacer which forms a special back gap in the magnetic circuit. An electrical coil sandwiched between the two magnetic materials induces flux in them. The spacer may extend normal to the flux path beyond the effective flux paths otherwise existing in the web and blanket.
