Magnetically codable machine readable polymeric article
Abstract
Abstract A magnetically codable article of manufacture and a method for making same are described. The finished articles of manufacture comprise a polymeric matrix of some rigidity having magnetic tape stripes integrally bonded therein on a plane with and in close proximity to the surface thereof in order that the said magnetic tape stripe can be conveniently read by such information retrieval equipment ordinarily employed for such purpose. The magnetic tape stripe is incorporated into the polymeric matrix by a heated-fushion bonding, under pressure, to yield a finished polymeric article of manufacture having said magnetic tape stripe integrally bonded therein, substantially flush with a surface thereof, said surface possessing very desirable physical characteristics.
