Magnetic recording and reproducing system with mechanical generation of synchronizing information

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF TRANSDUCING INTELLIGENCE COMPRISING AN INFORMATION SIGNAL REQUIRING PERIODIC SYNCHRONIZINGG SIGNALS WHICH COMPRISES (A) PERIODICALLY PHYSICAL MOVING A SCANNING MEANS ACROSS THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF A LONGITUDINALLY MOVING RECORD MEDIUM TO RECORD SUCCESSIVE TRACKS EXTENDING TRANSVERSELY ACROSS THE RECORD MEDIUM, (B) SYNCHRONIZING THE PERIOD OF THE PHYSICAL TRANSVERSE SCANNING MOVEMENTS OF THE SCANNING MEANS ACROSS THE RECORD MEDIUM WITH THE PERIOD OF SAID SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS WHILE SUPPLYING THE INFORMATION SIGNAL T THE SCANNING MEANS FOR RECORDING ALONG THE SUCCESSIVE TRACKS ON THE RECORD MEDIUM SO THAT EACH OF THE REQUIRED SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS OCCURS IN TIME WHILE THE SCANNING MEANS IS SCANNING AT A PREDETERMINED POSITION WITH RESPECT TO THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF THE RECORD MEDIUM FOR EACH OF A PLURALITY OF RECORDED TRACCKS ON THE RECRD MEDIUM WITH THE PREDETERMINED POSITIONS AT SAID PLURALITY OF RECORDED TRACKS BEING IN LONGITUDINAL ALIGNMENT IN THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF THE RECORD MEDIUM, (C) THEREAFTER PERIODICALLY TRANSVERSELY MOVING THE SCANNING MEANS ACROSS THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF THE LONGITUDINALLY MOVING RECORD MEDIUM TO SCAN THE SUCCESSIVE TRANSVERSELY EXTENDING RECORDED TRACKS THEREON TO REPRODUCE THE INFORMATION SIGNALS FROM THE SUCCESSIVE TRACKS, (D) GENERATING SYNCHRONZIN SIGNALS BY MEANS OF A SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL GENERATOR MOVING IN SYNCHRONISM WITH THE PHYSICAL MOVEMENT OF THE SCANNING MEANS DURING REPRODUCTION OF THE RECORDED TRACKS WITH THE GENERATION OF THE SYNNCHRONIZING SIGNALS BY THE SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL GENERATOR BEING COORDINATED WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE SCANNING MEANS SO THAT THE SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS ARE GENERATED WHILE THE SCANNING MEANS IS SCANNING EACH OFF SAID PREDETERMINED POSITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF THE RECORDED MEDIUM AT SAID PLURALITY OF RECORDED TRACKS ON THE RECORD MEDIUM, AND (E) COMBINING THE INFORMATION SIGNAL REPRODUCED BY THE SCANNING MEANS FROM THE RECORD MEDIUM WITH THE PERIODIC SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS GENERATED BY THE SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS TO PROVIDE AN COMPOSITE INTELLIGENCE SIGNAL.

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF TRANSDUCING INTELLIGENCE COMPRISING AN INFORMATION SIGNAL REQUIRING PERIODIC SYNCHRONIZINGG SIGNALS WHICH COMPRISES (A) PERIODICALLY PHYSICAL MOVING A SCANNING MEANS ACROSS THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF A LONGITUDINALLY MOVING RECORD MEDIUM TO RECORD SUCCESSIVE TRACKS EXTENDING TRANSVERSELY ACROSS THE RECORD MEDIUM, (B) SYNCHRONIZING THE PERIOD OF THE PHYSICAL TRANSVERSE SCANNING MOVEMENTS OF THE SCANNING MEANS ACROSS THE RECORD MEDIUM WITH THE PERIOD OF SAID SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS WHILE SUPPLYING THE INFORMATION SIGNAL T THE SCANNING MEANS FOR RECORDING ALONG THE SUCCESSIVE TRACKS ON THE RECORD MEDIUM SO THAT EACH OF THE REQUIRED SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS OCCURS IN TIME WHILE THE SCANNING MEANS IS SCANNING AT A PREDETERMINED POSITION WITH RESPECT TO THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF THE RECORD MEDIUM FOR EACH OF A PLURALITY OF RECORDED TRACCKS ON THE RECRD MEDIUM WITH THE PREDETERMINED POSITIONS AT SAID PLURALITY OF RECORDED TRACKS BEING IN LONGITUDINAL ALIGNMENT IN THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF THE RECORD MEDIUM, (C) THEREAFTER PERIODICALLY TRANSVERSELY MOVING THE SCANNING MEANS ACROSS THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF THE LONGITUDINALLY MOVING RECORD MEDIUM TO SCAN THE SUCCESSIVE TRANSVERSELY EXTENDING RECORDED TRACKS THEREON TO REPRODUCE THE INFORMATION SIGNALS FROM THE SUCCESSIVE TRACKS, (D) GENERATING SYNCHRONZIN SIGNALS BY MEANS OF A SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL GENERATOR MOVING IN SYNCHRONISM WITH THE PHYSICAL MOVEMENT OF THE SCANNING MEANS DURING REPRODUCTION OF THE RECORDED TRACKS WITH THE GENERATION OF THE SYNNCHRONIZING SIGNALS BY THE SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL GENERATOR BEING COORDINATED WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE SCANNING MEANS SO THAT THE SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS ARE GENERATED WHILE THE SCANNING MEANS IS SCANNING EACH OFF SAID PREDETERMINED POSITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE WIDTH DIMENSION OF THE RECORDED MEDIUM AT SAID PLURALITY OF RECORDED TRACKS ON THE RECORD MEDIUM, AND (E) COMBINING THE INFORMATION SIGNAL REPRODUCED BY THE SCANNING MEANS FROM THE RECORD MEDIUM WITH THE PERIODIC SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS GENERATED BY THE SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS TO PROVIDE AN COMPOSITE INTELLIGENCE SIGNAL.
