Abstract
A magnetic head for attachment to a drum includes two magnetic cores butted against each other, and a gap is formed therebetween. A glass is bonded to the upper butted portion. A winding is provided on the magnetic cores, and electromagnetic transformation is carried out. On the sliding face of the magnetic head, two grooves and are formed with the gap positioned therebetween at positions symmetrical with each other in a rotation direction of the drum to provide good contact between the magnetic head and a magnetic tape or other magnetic medium. A protective film is formed on the surface of the sliding face. The magnetic head generates a negative pressure by virtue of the grooves formed in the sliding face in the rotation direction of the drum, thereby improving contact between the magnetic head and the magnetic tape.
