    This document discusses magnetic tape recorders. It describes how magnetic tape recorders work by using a tape head with a magnetic core and coil to magnetize tape as it passes over a gap, recording signals. The same head can then play back recordings by detecting the varying magnetism on the tape. Magnetic tape recorders allow signals to be played back repeatedly and can record over long periods, with the ability to speed up or slow down playback. They see wide use for instrumentation, audio/video, computers, medical and other applications due to attributes like wide frequency range and low distortion.

    Introduction
    A recorder is measuring instrument that display a time
    varying signal in a form easy to examine, even after the
    original signal has ceased to exist .
    Types of Recorders
    Galvanometer recorder
    Potentiometric recorder
    Magnetic recorder
    Magnetic Recorder
    A major advantage of using a magnetic tape recorder is
    that once the data is recorded, it can be replayed an
    almost indefinite number of times.
    The recording period may vary from a few minutes to
    several days.
    Speed translation of the captured can be provided, i.e.
    Fast data can be slowed down and slow data speeded
    up by using different record and reproduce speed.

    Working
    The tape head consists of a ring of soft magnetic material, called the core, with
    a small gap in it.
    A coil is wound around the core. The tape travels over the gap in the core.
    During recording, an audio signal causes current to flow through the coil
    producing a magnetic field in the gap, as shown by the blue lines of force in the
    diagram.
    As the audio signal varies in amplitude and frequency so does the magnetic
    field.
    The tape consists of a plastic film coated with a material that is magnetized by
    the field as it passes over the gap.
    As the magnetic field varies in strength so does the magnetism stored on the
    tape.
    During playback the tape passes over the same head. (it is called the
    record/playback head).
    This time the magnetism stored on the tape induces a voltage in the head coil.
    This voltage is amplified and used to drive a loudspeaker.

    Advantages
    It has wide frequency ranges from DC to several
    MHz.
    They have a low distortion.
    The magnitude of the electrical input signal is
    stored in magnetic memory .
    The recorded signal is immediately available with
    no time lost.
    When the information has been processed, the
    tape can be erased and reused to record a new set
    of data.
    It permits multi-channel recording.
    Applications
    Instrumentation Systems
    Recording Audio
    Recording Video
    Computers
    Electrocardiograph
    Flight Test Data Recording and Processing Systems
