ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording and playback apparatus of perpendicular recording type comprises a main pole having a magnetic axis which is normal to a recording surface of a magnetic record medium, an auxiliary magnetic pole disposed in surrounding relationship with the main pole with a small clearance from the lateral side thereof, a coil disposed on part of the auxiliary pole, and a yoke having its one end connected to the auxiliary pole and having its other end of a relatively large area disposed in opposite relationship with the recording surface of the record medium. The free end of the main pole is disposed in contact with the surface of the record medium while the yoke is disposed at a given distance from the surface of the record medium. During a recording operation, a current is passed through the coil in accordance with information to be recorded. Thereupon, a magnetic flux is concentrated in the free end of the main pole to cause an inversion of magnetization in that region of a magnetic layer of the record medium which is contacted by the main pole, thus recording the information. During a playback operation, the free end of the main pole picks up a magnetic flux which depends on the magnetization, representing the information, recorded in the magnetic layer of the record medium, producing a corresponding current flow through the coil. An output current from the coil is utilized for reproduction of the recorded information.
