4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, lots of theory, examples...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Audio Electronics (Paperback)
This is a pretty good book. There are lots of examples and
theory, however the detailed explinations of circuits just
aren't there. You need to be pretty well versed in basic
electronic theory before picking up this book.

First Sentence:
In principle, the recording of an alternating electrical signal as a series of magnetic fluctuations on a continuous magnetisable tape would not appear to be a difficult matter, since it could be done by causing the AC signal to generate corresponding changes in the magnetic flux across the gap of an electromagnet, and these could then be impressed on the tape as it passes over the recording electromagnet head.
