          Application No. 08/136,123                                                  


               Appellants' invention relates to a magnetic head with                  
          alternating long and short projections and, between adjacent                
          projections, conductive segments forming a helical coil around              
          a                                                                           


          magnetic core.  Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed                      
          invention, and it reads as follows:                                         
               1.   A magnetic structure comprising a substrate having:               
               a plurality of ridge-like projections, each of said                    
          projections having slant side surfaces, said plurality of                   
          projections including a first subset of long projections                    
          having a first length and a second subset of short projections              
          having a second length shorter than said first length, said                 
          long and short projections being arranged in an alternating                 
          fashion with nearest neighboring short projections being                    
          separated from one another by a respective one of the long                  
          projections, a short projection and an adjacent long                        
          projection defining a groove-shape recess therebetween;                     
               a first conductive passage comprising a plurality of                   
          parallel and conductive passages formed on opposed slant side               
          surfaces of adjacent long and short projections;                            
               a first insulating layer stacked on said first conductive              
          passage and said substrate;                                                 
               a magnetic core made of magnetic material enclosed in                  
          said recess;                                                                
               a second insulating layer stacked on said magnetic core;               
          and                                                                         


                                          2
