A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING POLE PIECES OF A MAGNETIC HEAD HAVING A VERY SHORT GAP LENGTH AND A PRECISE GAP HEIGHT, COMPRISING: CUTTING A CROSS GROOVE IN A FIRST FERRITE PLATE SURFACE AND SPACED FROM ONE END THEREOF, SAID GROOVE EXTENDING ACROSS THE ENTIRE LATERAL DIMENSION OF SAID PLATE, SECURING PERMANENTLY A COOPERATING REINFORCING BAR OF NON-MAGNETIC MATERIAL LONGER THAN SAID LATERAL DIMENSION IN SAID GROOVE, SAID BAR THUS HAVING A LIMB EXTENDING BEYOND SAID PLATE TO ACT AS A REFERENCE TO ATTAIN SAID GAP HEIGHT, MACHINING A PORTION OF SAID PLATE AND A PORTION OF SAID BAR TO A PREDETERMINED CONFIGURATION TO FORM A FIRST SURFACE EXTENDING FROM SAID ONE END, THEREBY DEFINING COIL MOUNTING MEANS, GRINDING AND POLISHING THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF SAID PLATE SURFACE AND BAR TO FORM A SECOND CONTINUOUS PLANAR SURFACE, GRINDING AND POLISHING ONE PLANAR SURFACE OF A SECOND MAGNETIC PLATE, SECURING PERMANENTLY SAID GROUND AND POLISHED SURFADES TO EACH OTHER WITH THE INTERPOSITION OF A GAP-FORMING THIN LAYER OF NONMAGNETIC ADHESIVE TO DEFINE THE GAP LENGTH, CUTTING THE RESULTANT ASSEMBLY THROUGH THE PLATES SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO SAID LIMB TO FORM A POLEFACE, AND GRINDING AND POLISHING SAID POLEFACE UNTIL THE CORRECT GAP HEIGHT IS REACHED BY USING SAID EXTENDING LIMB AS A REFERENCE TO ATTAIN SAID CORRECT GAP HEIGHT.
