    Abstract: This invention detects tape defects down to and in the order of 10-5 inches in diameter or depth. This detection is achieved by recording DC test signals that do not saturate the tape, but instead provide a gradient of DC magnetization through the tape. The detection of very small or very shallow defects is further enhanced by use of an integrating amplifier in the faultdetecting circuit connected to the test read head. The output of the integrating amplifier is a signal which is very similar to the surface appearance of the tape.
