Tape recorder heads

Another use case for degaussing which I cannot see in the article is the act of reducing remnant magnetic fields from the playback and record heads of tape recorders as these fields can increase the noise floor during recording and playback. I can type out a short paragraph detailing the procedure. Gutten på Hemsen (talk) 21:30, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it goes in the article, but "detailing the procedure" sounds like WP:NOTHOWTO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gah4 (talk • contribs) 06:00, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You’re absolutely right. That was an inaccurate phrasing. The paragraph describes only the motivation behind tape recorder degaussing and why it can be needed. Gutten på Hemsen (talk) 11:21, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spin off marine applications?

Is there a case for splitting marine applications into a new article? The physics is the same but the processes are very different.--AntientNestor (talk) 07:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
