  • Transducing head for tape drive
    Patent number: 6657814
    Abstract: A transducing head (740) for a magnetic tape recorder comprises a first magnetic pole (744) and a second magnetic pole (742) positioned to form a gap therebetween. The first magnetic pole (744) has a first magnetic pole width H3 along the gap and the second magnetic pole (744) has a second magnetic pole width H1 along the gap. The first magnetic pole width H3 and the second magnetic pole width H1 are formed to satisfy the relation H1<H3<3T<H2, wherein H2 is a physical tape contact width of the transducing head and 3T is a width of three adjacent recorded tracks traversed by the head.
