BTH rotary magnetic optical soundhead
The word 'magnetic' applies to the method of driving the sound scanning drum
and not to the type of track
The drum is revolved by an electric motor, and magnet, and not by the usual method of using the film
To my knowledge Magnetic tracks had not been invented in 1949
