1. A multi-channel surface film timing-based magnetic recording head comprising:

  • a plurality of magnetically permeable columns, each column being divided into two parts by a substantially magnetically impermeable gap member, the gap member forming a sub-gap on a writing side of the head;

    at least one magnetically impermeable barrier, located between and magnetically isolating the plurality of magnetically permeable columns from one another; and

    a magnetically permeable thin film layer spanning at least a portion of the sub-gap and magnetically coupling the two parts of each column, wherein the thin film layer includes writing gaps defining a timing-based pattern.
