Abstract
A reading apparatus simultaneously detects all the magnetic states previously recorded on a length of a magnetic strip on a substrate. The apparatus has detectors for simultaneously detecting all the magnetic states coded on the magnetic strip and for generating electrical signals indicative of the magnetic states. An electronic circuit processes the electrical signals in order to determine the meaning of the magnetic states. A display shows the meaning of the magnetic states. The apparatus is used to read flexible magnetic tags attached to garments.
