Abstract
A transducing head ( ) for a magnetic tape recorder comprises a first magnetic pole ( ) and a second magnetic pole ( ) positioned to form a gap therebetween. The first magnetic pole ( ) has a first magnetic pole width H along the gap and the second magnetic pole ( ) has a second magnetic pole width H along the gap. The first magnetic pole width H and the second magnetic pole width H are formed to satisfy the relation H <H <3T<H wherein H is a physical tape contact width of the transducing head and 3T is a width of three adjacent recorded tracks traversed by the head.
