Abstract
Signal dropouts arising from magnetic tape are one cause of error in modern digital computers designed to use such tape as a long period storage medium. Noise pulses, which are of sufficient amplitude to act as spurious signals, form a second error source. Both dropouts and noise pulses are traceable to discontinuities in the magnetic coating.
