Can anyone help answer a query from a friend in Japan?

He's trying to find information about when magnetic stripe tickets were
first used, and heard that LT had some in the 1960s. Were there experiments
before the current ones were introduced (1980s if I recall correctly)?

Thanks.

For anyone who cares to look I have posted some scans of London Transport
oxide-backed tickets. These are all totally backed by oxide rather than
a stripe, and can be viewed hopefully at the following link:
