Electromagnetic recording and playback device

The purpose of this thesis is the design and manufacture of an electromagnetic recording and playback device. The device was designed to record information onto a steel wire which can replay the signal. The device is of simple mechanical design, resilient to impacts, minor compression, and operator error. The design has a minimal number of parts and requires limited maintenance or replacement of parts. The device is comprised of three systems: a magnetic head, transport system, and a support structure. Each of these systems is described and mechanical drawings for all parts are included.
