Abstract
Most of the technologically important aspects of magnetic recording are reviewed in a nonmathematical manner. After a discussion of recording media and heads, the fundamentals of the media magnetization and writing processes are considered. The factors limiting the bandwidth, distortion, and signal-to-noise ratio of audio, instrumentation, video, and digital recording machines are analyzed. The paper concludes with some predictions on the future of magnetic recording.
