Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
The combination of a magnetic recording tape and a leader tape wherein said magnetic recording tape includes a base film strip having a layer of magnetic material disposed on one major surface thereof, said leader tape being secured to or integral with said base film strip and having a chemically etched or sand blasted roughened surface so as to form small concave and convex portions on at least one major surface thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
The combination of a magnetic recording tape and a leader tape wherein said magnetic recording tape includes a base film strip having a layer of magnetic material disposed on one major surface thereof, said leader tape being secured to or integral with said base film strip and having a chemically etched or sand blasted roughened surface so as to form small concave and convex portions on at least one major surface thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The combination defined in claim 1 wherein both surfaces of said leader tape are roughened so as to have small convex and concave portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The combination defined in claim 1 wherein the magnetic recording tape includes a base film strip and a layer of magnetic material disposed on one surface of the base film strip, said leader tape being secured to said base film strip with the roughened surface thereof on the opposite side from said layer of magnetic material.
