Results concerning the response of the magnetostrictive delay line made of
Fe77.5Si7.5B15 amorphous glass covered wires are presented. The pulsed volt
age output is not significant for glass covered wires but strongly increase
s after glass removal. The dependence of the pulsed voltage output on the b
ias magnetic field applied in exciting or receiving points is non-monotonic
