[Also in Division H3] A magnetic device storing bits in a medium capable of supporting reverse-magnetized domains has input means recording the bits and further means propogating the bits through the medium in a first or second direction so that the bits so stored are in a different order in the medium from that in which they occurred in an input binary signal. As described data is recorded as domain changes in a magnetic wire 11, a write pulse being applied to line 13. A recorded "1" causes a change in magnetization direction as shown, a "0" leaving the magnetization unchanged. During or just preceding the writing of the first bit of the data, a control circuit 27 causes a write pulse from a synchronous write driver to be applied to line 18 to apply a predetermined sequence of domains to wire 12, the sequence of a word of k bits being as indicated in Fig. 1 (which specifically relates to a 3-bit word), lines 21, 23 being read lines controlling the forward and back space shifts. The first data bit 1 is written on wire 11 when the right hand bit R (Fig. 3) on wire 12 recorded by line 18 is read by line 21. The bit R is then erased and the data bits in both wires are shifted left until the lefthand bit M is read by line 23. Bit M is then erased and the data bits in both wires shifted right until the present right-hand bit Q is read by line 21. Bit Q is then erased, the second data bit written on wire 11 and the data in both wires is shifted left until bit N is read by wire 23. The data is shifted right until P is detected and the third data bit written on wire 11. This proceeds until the final bit 0 is detected by line 23 whereon the synchronous write driver is triggered to write another pattern on wire 12 and recommence the operation for the next data word. The final result is an interlacing of the bits of the data word as shown in line t1 of Fig. 2. The result of the operation is a set of interlaced words and check digits which can be transmitted, the loss of a transmitted word causing only the loss of one bit from a plurality of words, which can be replaced by decoding the check bits. The bits are read out for transmission in the order shown in Fig. 2, line t1, when the recorded bits pass under the read line 16 (Fig. 1). For decoding at the receiver, the same pattern is written on wire 12, but a signal on line 23 now causes the incoming data to be written on wire 11 and a signal on line 21 enables the utilization circuit so that the bit passing under line 16 is read out. This causes the signal to be read out as shown in Fig. 2, line t. More advantageously the read line 16 may be situated one position to the left of the write line 13.
