Abstract
Apparatus for high speed bulk magnetic encoding of lottery tickets passes a web of tickets by an encoding apparatus which supports plural skates each having wheels or rollers which ride along the surface of the web to provide a controlled gap between the web and a magnetic write head. Also included on the skate are a magnetic read head and an inkjet print head. After encoding and printing, the perforations in the web are bursted, and the web is sliced into individual magnetically encoded lottery tickets.
