A method for processing a thin glass is provided. The thin glass is subjected to a tensile stress .sub.app smaller than $1.15.Math.\mathrm{Min}({\stackrel{\_}{}}_a-{}_{a}0.4.Math.\left(1-\ln \left(\frac{A_{\mathrm{ref}}}{A_{\mathrm{App}}}\right)\right),{\stackrel{\_}{}}_e-{}_{e}0.4.Math.(1-\ln (\frac{L_{\mathrm{ref}}}{}$

Apparatus and methods are provided for a self-contained tension control system. An example self-contained tension control system can include a brake system configured to provide tension friction to a web, a tension transducer to provide tension information indicative of tension of the web, a controller configured to receive the tension information, to compare the tension information to set point information, and to provide a command signal to the brake system, and an enclosure configured to enclose the brake system, the tension transducer, and the controller, the enclosure including a first web opening and a second web opening configured to allow the web to enter the enclosure and to pass through the enclosure to equipment downstream of the self-contained tension control system.

The present invention provides a guide device for guiding print medium onto a take-up roll in a printing system. The guide device comprises a first guide member presenting a substantially planar surface for limiting or preventing lateral deviation of a printed medium output from the printing system as the medium moves along a transport path towards a take-up roll for winding or taking up a length of the medium. The first guide member is stationary in use. A position of the first guide member is adjustable in a direction transverse to the transport path for setting the position to limit or prevent lateral deviation of the medium along the transport path. The guide device further comprises a second guide member presenting a support surface configured and arranged to support the medium thereon as the medium travels along the transport path towards the take-up roll. The first guide member and the second guide member are preferably integrally formed as a guide unit. Further, the invention provides a printing system which incorporates such a guide device.

Provided is a magnetic tape apparatus in which the magnetic tape is run between a winding reel and a cartridge reel in a state where a tension is applied in a longitudinal direction, a maximum value of the tension is 0.50 N or more, the magnetic tape after being run in a state where the tension is applied is wound around the cartridge reel with a tension of 0.30 N or less applied in the longitudinal direction, and the number of recesses existing on a surface of the magnetic layer of the magnetic tape and having an equivalent circle diameter of 0.10 m or more and less than 0.20 m is 100 or more and 2000 or less per an area of 40 m40 m.
