Abstract
A product having a magnetic recording tape with at least one servo track, the at least one servo track having a plurality of first magnetic bars and a plurality of second magnetic bars. The first magnetic bars each have a longitudinal axis oriented between 2 and 88 degrees from the longitudinal axis of the magnetic recording tape. A width of each of the at least one servo track is defined in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the magnetic recording tape between sides of the servo track, the sides of each servo track extending along ends of the first magnetic bars. Lengths of the second magnetic bars along the longitudinal axes thereof are less than the width of the associated servo track.
