<p>The object of the invention is to provide an electronic reader for magnetic cards, of the type in which a magnetic card (24), equipped with numerous small magnets (26), which are disposed in a certain number of rows, is manually inserted therein for reading. In said reader, numerous elements for detecting the polarity of said small magnets (26) are disposed in a single row, equal in number to the number of small magnets disposed in one row, and the output of said detection elements is continously scanned at high speed during the advance of the magnetic card. Therefore, the polarities of the small magnets of each row are detected one at a time successively, while the magnetic card (24) is being manually advanced between its entrance position and its end-of-travel position.</p> |
