Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium, consisting essentially of a polymeric, web-like substrate and a coherent thin layer of a ferromagnetic material is produced in a reduced-pressure chamber by depositing a vapor jet of the ferromagnetic material onto the moving substrate surface which is fed on a cylindrical drum.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
In a process for the production of a magnetic recording medium, consisting essentially of a polymeric substrate and a coherent thin layer of a ferromagnetic material, in a reduced-pressure chamber by producing a vapor jet of the ferromagnetic material from an evaporator unit provided with such material, and depositing the vapor jet on the substrate which is fed over a cylindrical drum, the vapor jet striking the substrate at angles which differ from 90°, the improvement comprising the center of the evaporator unit is laterally displaced in the axial direction of the drum, with respect to the center of the substrate surface to be coated by vapor deposition.
