2. Magnetic tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_tape

   Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic storage made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic film. It was developed in Germany in 1928, based on the earlier magnetic wire recording from Denmark. Devices that use magnetic tape can with relative ease record and play back audio, visual, and binary computer data.

3. Magnetic-tape data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-tape_data_storage

   Tape was an important medium for primary data storage in early computers, typically using large open reels of 7-track, later 9-track tape. Modern magnetic tape is most commonly packaged in cartridges and cassettes, such as the widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) [1] and IBM 3592 series.

4. Magnetic storage - Wikipedia

   A magnetisation distribution is achieved along the magnetic tape. Finally, the distribution of the magnetisation can be read out, reproducing the original signal. The magnetic tape is typically made by embedding magnetic particles (approximately 0.5 micrometers [4] in size) in a plastic binder on polyester film tape. The most commonly-used of ...

   The 3480 tape format is a magnetic tape data storage format developed by IBM. The tape is one-half inch (13 mm) wide and is packaged in a 4 in × 5 in × 1 in (102 mm × 127 mm × 25 mm) cartridge. The tape is one-half inch (13 mm) wide and is packaged in a 4 in × 5 in × 1 in (102 mm × 127 mm × 25 mm) cartridge.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_head

   Tape head assembly from a compact cassette deck. The compact cassette uses four tracks, two for each side; visible are two heads (the silver rectangles inside the black rectangle) for playing one side of the tape at a time. A tape head is a type of transducer used in tape recorders to convert electrical signals to magnetic fluctuations and vice ...
