A magnetic information recording and reading device is embodied in an electronic equipment for the data processing. On a plurality of parallel tracks of a magnetic tape are recorded information blocks aligned at the starting point so as to form a matrix of information blocks. Each column of information blocks is addressable by a corresponding address recorded in a further track of the tape. Each address block comprises a timing character sequence for the addressing of an information block and for synchronizing the reading and/or the recording of data. The energization of a recording head is controlled by the readinng of timing character included in the corresponding address block so that the recording starting point of each of the information blocks are perfectly aligned independently from the speed of the tape.
A method for timing the data recording and reading operation in a recording-reading device using a magnetic tape having a plurality of parallel tracks for storing data in blocks of characters separated by constant gaps and a track for storing addresses of said data blocks, comprising a reading head and a recording head preceding said reading head with respect to the movement of the tape, the method comprising the steps of:
