000-square foot Graham Mag-
netics plant will produce finest
quality magnetic computer
tapes for use on electronic data
processing equipment in busi-
ness, industry and government
installations across the nation.
The plant was designed spe-
cifically for the maaufacture of
magnetic tapes, in a “super-
clean" atmosphere in order to
achieve "zero defect" quality
in all tapes. This requires
the most exacting care in all
steps of production. The pro-
cess begins with the precise
mixing and blending of micro-
fine particles of an oxide and
other materials which form the
tape’s magnetic coating. The
coating material is then care-
fully applied to wide rolls of
polyester film. When the coat-
ing is dried and securely
anchored to the base film, the
rolls are slit into half-inch
tapes, each 2,500 feet long.
By actual computer oper-
ation, each tape produced at
Graham Magnetics is certified
to record and reproduce 7,200
magnetic1 signals per linear
lnch--or a total of 216,000,000
bits of information on the 2,500-
foot length of tape. Failure to
handle even one bit of infor-
mation properly is cause for
rejection of the entire reel of
tape.
To preserve the "white
room" cleanliness of each reel
of tape, it is hermetically sealed
in a plastic wrap before pack-
ing and shipping. In Graham
Magnetics’ research labora-
tory, work is constantly in pro-
gress toward building even
greater quality and capabilities
into Graham tapes.
The Graham Magnetics plant
is staffed with people who have
the scientific background, ex-
perience and proven ability to
produce premium magnetic
tapes of superior quality. The
tapes will be marketed through
a nationwide sales organiza-
tion.

and clubs, and from interested
citizens in Olney.
“The splendid reponse
from the people of Graham to
the 1966 Heart Fund appeal Is
dramatic evidence that they un-
derstand the seriousness of the
heart problem. It also demon-
strates their strong conviction
that the Heart Association’s
program of research and edu-
cation constitutes the most ef-
fective way to combat and even-
tually to control this leading
health menace," stated Dr. R.

Young County Heart Associa-
ion.

All of these different occur-
rences--and countless more—
involve electronic data proces-
sing systems, and, therefore,
the use of computer tapes.
These systems record and or-
ganize great masses of infor-
mation and then “feed out"
data in various needed forms,
all at very high speed. The
heart of the system is the com-
puter.
The computer translates both
figures and words into pat-
terns of digits which are re-
corded as magnetic signals on
computer tape. Each recorded
tape thus becomes a file of in-
formation. When instructed by
the computer operation, the
computer “reads" the tape
and reproduces required data,
such as how many seats are
available on a certain flight,
or how much the balance is in
a checking account, or when to
fire retro-rockets on a space
mission.
Since the end of World War
II, the use of computers and
magnetic computer tapes has
grown explosively and con-
tinues to increase rapidly.
However, until the opening
of the Graham Magnetics In-
corporated plant, Texas did not
have a single manufacturing
installation making magnetic
tapes for this burgeoning seg-
ment of our economy, despite
the proliferation of electronic
data processing equipment us-
ors in the Southwest
Graham Magnetics will em-
ploy several hundred people
when it reaches peak produc-
tion.

cutives are: George A. Jaggers,
