Coating machine. added smoothness attained by this operation can gain as much as 2 db in output level, particularly at high frequencies, because of better contact between the coating and the record-reproduce heads. This operation as well as the simultaneous application of the lubricant helps to eliminate the abrasive action of these coatings and reduce headwear. Slitting The next operation is the slitting of the wide rolls on rotary-knife slitting equipment. Such a machine is shown in Fig. 4. While accuracy of slitting is of para mount importance, control of take-u ! tensions is even greater. From th>j manufacturers' standpoint, it would b desirable to spool under reasonably hig tension to insure a tight, readily ship, pable and neat wind.
