Abstract
Abstract This invention discloses a magnetic recording medium in the form of a nonconductive substrate having two surfaces, one surface being coated with a magnetic recording material and the other surface being coated with a composition exhibiting selected properties as to its resistivity and as to its coefficient of friction with regard to its use in a media handling system. Also, a media handling system, including such a magnetic recording media, is disclosed.
