Also, the plane of the gap is inclined at ~60° with respect to the membrane plane. This is due to the following reason: the gap is obtained by depositing a gap spacer on the gap surface and then depositing a magnetic film. If the gap plane is steep, the magnetic properties of the deposited film cannot be obtained, and according to the inventor's experiments, the limit was 80°. The larger the slope of the gap surface, the better the film will be, but if it is made unnecessarily large, the effect will be the same as that of a larger gap depth, and the performance will deteriorate. If this is within 268, the lower limit must be 40° or more. Elimination gap G2. The surface of G3 is formed by ion milling, and the recording/reproducing gap G
The surface 1 is finished by shaving with a diamond bite. Also, recording/reproduction gap G1
is 2 μm, and the erase gaps G2 and G3 are 12 μm. Further, the head winding ratio for each is made equal to the gap length ratio.

.. As shown in the figure, an insulating material (not shown) is provided between the upper head cores 1a, 2a, 5a and the lower head cores 1b, 2b, 5b of No.5. That is, the head coil 4 is a head coil for a recording/reproducing head and an erasing head, and the head coil for the recording/reproducing head and the head coil for the erasing head are connected in series to form one head coil.

It can be seen that the effect of a decrease in output due to an increase in recording current is remarkable, and an overcurrent of about twice the calculated recording current causes the output to decrease by 20 to 30 dB from the peak value.

In addition, if the signal readout caused by the erasing head 1 during playback is difficult, by using a large gear number, it is possible to lower the effective signal by more than 10.1B due to the gap loss effect. Regarding signal readout, it is effective to provide an azimuth in the recording/reproducing and erasing gaps. Is the recording/playback gap 2μm +? G gap 12μ
It was confirmed that there was no problem with the bundling performance, which was measured by setting m and azimuth 20'. The gap length between the recording/reproducing head and the erasing head (71+G2, the winding is 2G for each
The reason why i/Gt is set is that when the recording current is constant, the recording magnetic field is approximately half proportional to the gap length, and the aim is to make the magnetic field on the erasing side cross the recording side by approximately twice as much as the magnetic field. This is because of this.
