It begs the question , how do the manufacturers check the goodness of
their
test tapes?
I seem to remember a picture in a manual or publication showing via some
magnetic ink or similar, contrasting bands along a piece of magnetic tape
carying a constant tone , perhaps they can use that process to physically
count and measure the visualised bands on a sample of their tapes.

I remember the standard rate of tape travel over the heads is 2 |
inches/second or something. Maybe they check a 'master' deck, mechanically,
then use it to make master tapes. |

I actually went looking on the net for the Konig tapes that I have to see if |
they were still available, and the only reference I could find was in New
Zealand, so I reckon that I'd better start taking more care of mine ... !!

I tried that one time making a length of tape in a cassette, length of tape
from head read position at start to end an exact length for 1 7/8 inches/sec
, so counting seconds but results did not agree with my commercially
produced 3.2KHz test tape (stretched?) and didn't explore any more.
