But instead of using a magnetic head in the drive to make the changes, the magnets are built into the disk itself.

And 5 to 10 percent involve another circuit board that connects to the magnetic head assembly.

This functions much like a standard magnetic heading indicator, turning as required.

But a move to a different type of magnetic head that began in 1999 and was completed in 2001 seemed to reduce the problems significantly.

I am going to proceed on a magnetic heading of 160 degrees, at 300 knots indicated air speed.

The magnetic head touches the recording surface, as it does in a normal floppy drive.

The outside surface of the bowl includes markings to indicate a magnetic heading.

If no micro chip is placed on the card, the transaction goes directly above the magnetic head.

Magnetic compass used to determine the magnetic heading of the ship.

The worm seemed to be searching for the natural frequency of the lever which carried the magnetic heads.

Magnetic head slides along the disk surface - deleting.

The first generation of machines used a magnetic head, like those in audio cassette players, to read the ink on a dollar bill.

The sound of moving magnetic heads may be heard in the recorded video when recording in quiet environment.

(The slant of a magnetic head is referred to as its azimuth adjustment).

Standard 8mm had the stripe between the perforations and the edge of the film which made good contact with a magnetic head problematic.

He could only rely on a magnetic heading and that made it clear he did not know where he was.

Every turnstile reader has a series of magnetic heads that read the information on the card and deduct a fare.

They could therefore use magnetic heads (like the ones in a cassette tape recorder) to pick up signals from the bills.

Once the surface reaches a particular temperature, a magnetic head moves across the media, changing the polarity of the particles as needed.

Inside this box is the magnetic head from a tape deck, recalibrated somehow to read the digital information on the back of bank cards.

The cleaning card is not only cleaning the reading area of the magnetic head which is cleared.

The credit/debit-card is inserted into the card slot, where the first magnetic head is placed.

This increase has come about through improvements to magnetic heads, disk surfaces and the mathematical codes that govern the drives.

The report appeared to discount this, saying, "There were no indications that the crew of 007 deliberately maintained a constant magnetic heading."

Sticking out of each gun's barrel, however, was a chrome grappling hook with a bulbous magnetic head.
