Abstract
Alternate S- and N-poles are disposed on a multipolar erasing head in the direction of a relative movement of the multipolar erasing head to a magnetic recording medium. The multipolar erasing head includes at least one region where the distances between adjacent magnetic poles of the same polarity are successively shortened in the direction for successively erasing the information recorded on the recording medium. A method and apparatus for manufacturing such an erasing head are also disclosed.

A method for manufacturing a multipolar erasing head comprising the steps of:
- moving a multipolar erasing head member of which the surface to be magnetized is disposed in one of a state slidably contacted with, and a state very slightly spaced from, an electromagent having a gap, the front of which is passed by said erasing head member surface;
- supplying to an exciting winding of said electromagnet pulse currents of which the polarities are periodically reversed during said movement;
- and
- controlling either one of the speed of said relative movement of said erasing head member and the period of the polarity reversing of said pulse current so as to successively change in a given direction the distances between adjacent magnetic poles of the same polarity formed on the surface of said erasing head member.
A manufacturing method of a multipolar erasing head comprising the steps of:
- moving a multipolar erasing head member of which the surface to be magnetized is disposed in one of a state slidably in contact with, and a state very slightly spaced apart from an electromagnet having a gap, the front of which is passed by said erasing head member surface;
- detecting the time that a specified position to be magnetized on the surface of said erasing head member passes the front of said gap during said relative movement and producing a control signal in synchronism with said time;
- and
- supplying to an exciting winding wound around said electromagnet pulse current with polarities and amplitudes corresponding to said controlling signal, said pulse current being supplied from a magnetizing current supply circuit in response to said control signal applied thereto.
