The innuence of insulators of laminated heads on recording patterns was investigated by using the Bitter method and computer simulations. Some unrecorded areas exist on a recording track, and these correspond to the positions of insulators on the trailing side. An unrecorded area becomes wider with an increase in the magnetomotive force. The size of an unrecorded area depends on the insulator's thickness and the media's coercive force. These results were confirmed by simulations using thefinite element method.
