Machinable anisotropic magnet

Claim 1

A PERMANENT MAGNET MATERIAL COMPRISING A LAMINATE OF SHEET FORMS EACH SHEET COMPRISING ROUGHLY PLATE-LIKE, SUBSTANTIALLY DOMAIN SIZE ANISOTROPIC PARTICLES OF AT LEAST ONE PERMANENT MAGNET SUBSTANCE SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF THE FERRITES OF BARIUM, STRONTIUM AND LEAD, SAID PARTICLES INDIVIDUALLY HAVING SINGLE PREDOMINANTLY PREFERRED MAGNETIC AXES WHICH ARE CONSISTENTLY NORMAL TO THEIR RESPECTIVE GENERAL PLANES, SAID PARTICLES BEING ADHERED BY A PHYSICALLY COHERENT, NON-MAGNETIC BINDER SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF RUBBERS, ELASTOMERS, AND RESIN, SAID PARTICLES BEING SO ORIENTED WITH RESPECT TO EACH OTHER AND TO SAID MATERIAL THAT THE PLANES OF SAID PLATE-LIKE PARTICLES ARE SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER AND THE PREFERRED MAGNETIC AXES OF SAID PARTICLES ARE SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER AND ARE SUBSTANTIALLY PERPENIDCULAR TO THE SURFACE OF SAID MATERIAL, SAID LAMINATE HAVING A PREFERRED DIRECTION OF MAGNETIZATION WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY NORMAL TO THE PLANES OF THE SHEET MATERIAL COMPRISING THE LAMINATE.
