Abstract
Abstract IN A MULTIPLE CHANNEL TAPE HANDLING SYSTEM, THE SKEW ERROR ATTRIBUTABLE TO AZIMUTH MISALIGNMENT OF THE TAPE IS CORRECTED BY INTRODUCING PROPORTIONAL VARIABLE TIME DELAYS INDIVIDUAL TO THE CHANNELS. THE SKEW ERROR ATTRIBUTABLE TO GAP SCATTER OF THE READ HEAD IS CORRECTED BY INTRODUCING FIXED TIME DELAYS INDIVIDUAL TO THE CHANNELS. SPECIFICALLY, FIXED RESISTORS INDIVIDUAL TO THE CHANNELS ON THE TAPE DETERMINE THE GAP SCATTER CORRECTION AND A SINGLE VARIABLE RESISTOR DETERMINES THE AZIMUTH CORRECTION.
