Abstract :
In some recorder applications there is a demand for both high data rates and high capacity. Radio astronomy is an example of such an application, and the longitudinal recorder has been developed for an array of radio telescopes known as the Very Long Baseline Array. The advantages, limitations, and future potential of this system are discussed in the light of new technologies for large arrays of heads, and extremely thin magnetic tapes
