Abstract
Apparatus for, and a method of, duplicating magnetically recorded information by contact transfer from a master medium to a slave medium in the absence of a transfer field. The slave medium comprises a dilute concentration of magnetic particles productive of a demagnetization field that is negligible compared to an external magnetic field of the master medium in its contact-transfer zone. The absence of an appreciable demagnetization field in the slave medium enables the external magnetic field of the master medium to be virtually unopposed in effecting the magnetization of the slave medium.
