A magnetic core provided with one or more concave mark(s) with a depth of 2 um or less on at least one side surface of the magnetic core for a floating-type complex magnetic head, wherein the magnetic gap depth is controlled by machining the air bearing while observing a specific portion, from the direction perpendicular to the air bearing, of a concave mark or observing the level difference of specific portions of multiple concave marks provided on the side surface of the magnetic core in relation to the position of the apex of the magnetic core after cementing the magnetic core using glass filler inside a slit provided in the air bearing of a slider.

Method of making a floating-type composite magnetic head provided with a

A floating magnetic head of a monolithic type which is arranged in such a manner that a magnetic circuit is constituted by a first magnetic core having an air bearing surface and a second magnetic core to which a wire is wound and being integrally connected with the first core via a magnetic gap, and the backside of the first core is, connected with an adhesive to a holding member of a cantilever holding structure provided for a load arm in such a manner that the longitudinal central axes of the first core and the holding member coincide with each other. The magnetic head has a groove which is formed on the backside of the first core thereof in such a manner that the groove substantially parallels a magnetic gap line, the groove confronts the holding member and the distance between the gap line and an edge line of the groove adjacent to the gap line is 2 to 20% of the entire length of the first and the second cores. Furthermore, no adhesive adheres to the second core.
