Description
From the abstract: "This short document tells the story behind the ‘747’ curve. This is a test devised at IBM in the 1970’s and used to evaluate recording systems for Hard Disk Drives (HDD). It is still widely used throughout the industry. The test plots off-track capability vs. adjacent-track ‘squeeze’. The plotted results form a curve that resembles the front end of a 747 airplane."
