Abstract

A magnetic head for a camera having a first track-forming portion, and an adjacent second track-forming portion wherein each track-forming portion is capable of either writing to or reading from a magnetic-memory portion of a film loaded in the camera and having a path of travel adjacent the head. According to the invention, the track-forming portion having read capability has a major dimension which is parallel to the plane of the film to allow an additional number of turns of wire to be wound without increasing the size of the camera. In addition, the second track-forming portion is preferably arranged furthest from the edge of the photographic image region of the film.
