Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the two methods of magnetic tape recording used today in the seismic industry. It discusses objectively the characteristics of both methods including historical material, discussion of circuitry, magnetic tape, drive systems, effects of flutter and harmonic distortion, signal transfer and tape transport construction. The paper also includes discussion of noise and reproduction of transient signals. Diagrams illustrating the two recording systems, their frequency response and phase shift characteristics, distortion and noise levels as well as typical wave forms, are also attached.
