An interview with Packard from 1982 is available in the Stuart W. Leslie Oral histories on the Cold War and American Science. Biographical Note Martin Everett Packard, born in 1921, received his B.A. in Physics in 1942 from Oregon State University and began working at Westinghouse Research. In the summer of 1945 (following at stint at UC Berkeley Radiation Lab for the Manhattan Project), Packard was introduced to Felix Bloch by his supervisor at Westinghouse, Stanford physics alumnus Daniel Alpert. Bloch explained to Packard his ideas concerning nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which he termed nuclear induction.

Guide to the Martin Packard M0760 2 papers The following week Packard enrolled as a graduate student at Stanford University, working with professors Bloch and William Hansen on Stanford’s first NMR experiments. As part of this experiment, Packard was the first to detect the nuclear magnetic resonance of protons in water in January 1946. Bloch, together with Harvard physicist E. M. Purcell, shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1952 for their development of NMR. Aware of its commercial potential, inventor and Stanford alum Russell Varian convinced Bloch to patent NMR, which Russ and his brother Sigurd then licensed. This exclusive license was transferred to Varian Associates when they founded the company in April 1948. The first commercial NMR spectrometer was built by Varian in 1950. Meanwhile Packard, after earning a PhD in Physics in 1949, remained at Stanford as an instructor. In 1951, with students James Arnold and Srinivas Dharmatti, he discovered how NMR could be applied to organic compounds, opening the field of magnetic resonance analysis in organic chemistry. At the end of the term Packard joined Varian, as had many of Bloch’s former students. Thanks to the license, Varian led the field in NMR commercialization. Packard, along with James Arnold, James N. Shoolery, Emery Rogers, Forrest Nelson, and Wes Anderson, worked with NMR at Varian, “building NMR from a theoretical concept to one of the most widely used tools in analytical chemistry,” as his bio states. Continuing his research path, Packard published papers, developed with Russell Varian the Proton Free Precession Magnetometer (widely used in geophysics) and is named in eight patents with the company. In 1971 Martin Packard received the IEEE Morris E. Leeds Award "for his pioneering research leading to the practical use of nuclear magnetic resonance for the accurate measurement of magnetic fields, and for his contributions to the spectrometry of complex molecules." Packard retired from Varian in 1989. Scope and Contents In the late 1940s and early 50s, physicist Martin Packard made significant contributions to the emerging field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology at Stanford University. NMR involves the measure of electromagnetic radiation absorbed and emitted by nuclei in magnetic fields. NMR is the underlying principle behind MRI and other medical imaging techniques. It also has important applications in chemistry, biology, and geology. Packard was employed by Varian Associates, who, building on their success with the klystron, were market leaders in the commercial application of NMR technology. The collection is from his time at Varian, and therefore should also appeal to those researching that company’s history, or the birth of Silicon Valley. While Packard came to Varian with NMR expertise, his role in the company quickly expanded, and the files contained here cover many aspects of Varian’s business. There are two main series of Varian correspondence and internal memoranda from the 1960s through the 80s, arranged chronologically. Packard maintained several document files as a sort of reference library, with each document (correspondence, memoranda, and background articles and papers) numbered and indexed. There are files for Varian’s dealings with the People’s Republic of China and the USSR, files on health concerns in radio frequency and microwave technologies (“Biological Effects”), as well as a general subject file arranged alphabetically. The collection contains a variety of material related to Varian’s corporate history, much of which was assembled for Packard’s “The Varian Story” lecture delivered at the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry in 1980. Most of these files are contemporary remembrances in the form of articles, papers, correspondence, and transcripts. However, there is a set of Russell Varian research notes, papers and patents from the late 1940s and 50s, and photocopies of the Varian newsletter from the late 1940s through the 70s. There is correspondence with Stuart W. Leslie about an unpublished Varian history, essays by W.G. Proctor, Dorothy Varian, and others, and various photographs, some of which are likely original prints. The last files involve Varian Fellows’ efforts to reinvigorate the company in the late 1980s. Historical files also include related information concerning Felix Bloch, NMR, Stanford University, and SLAC. Other Varian files include expense reports, sales brochures for spectroscopes, chromatographs, and other instruments, and records of the Palo Alto Capital Company (Varian’s Minority Enterprise SBIC). Packard was a member of two National Academy of Science panels on technology transfer and national security, and there is correspondence, memoranda, draft reports, and background information from both panels. He was also president of the Addiction Research Foundation, Avram Goldstein’s research clinic devoted to studying the physiological basis for drug addiction, and there are organizational files through its dissolution in 1989. Of course Packard’s own speeches, papers and other writings are also present, most of which can be found in their own series. There are also many notebooks, planners and business cards, as well as vacuum tubes and other unidentified machine parts. Access Terms Addiction Research Foundation (U.S.). Ginzton, Edward L.

These files chronicle the emergence of normalized trade relations with communist China. Varian activity began around 1972 when Carl Djerassi was involved with hosting a delegation of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and approached Varian for a tour. In 1977, Varian was in China for a trade fair. By 1986, China was responsible for $10-15 million in sales, Beijing had a sales office and two service centers, and there were manufacturing licenses for six products.

3.3 USSR 1973-1986 Scope and Content Note Correspondence, memoranda, and background information (articles, papers, and other publications), in approximately chronological order. The file begins with correspondence and reports from Edward Ginzton (who was born in Ukraine) from 1973, as well as Ginzton’s “Some Notes on a Trip to Russia” from 1974. Packard’s first trip was in 1976, and subsequent communication is largely business, scientific and government trip and meeting coordination, notably with licensing agency Licensintorg, and the US-USSR Trade & Economic Council. In early 1980 (around 3300-3364), following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, U.S. trade embargos extended to the suspension of high technology export licenses, and there is a great deal of correspondence concerning this. The files contain much information about the exchange of scientific knowledge, expertise, and technology with Russia, as well as articles about industrial espionage and spying. Related information can be found in Packard’s National Academy of Science panel files under Series 8.

Palo Alto Capital Company 1967-1975 Scope and Content Note In the late 1960s, Varian Associates, and Edward Ginzton in particular, had an interest in assisting “members of minorities to establish and expand successful small business in the mid-Peninsula area,” and founded a Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment Company (MESBIC) to that end. Varian’s Minority Employment Committee worked with the Stanford-Mid-Peninsula Urban Coalition in setting up an SBIC that would also coordinate volunteer business consultation and management development, in addition to providing loans. The Palo Alto Capital Company, founded in October 1969, was the second MESBIC in country. PACC merged with Opportunity Capital Corporation of San Francisco in 1974, with Martin Packard representing Varian on their Board of Directors.

8.1. Addiction Research Foundation (ARF) 1974-1989 Scope and Content Note The Addiction Research Foundation was a nonprofit research clinic devoted to the study of addictive diseases, formed by Avram Goldstein, a professor of pharmacology at Stanford University School of Medicine who advocated for the recognition of addiction as a behavioral disorder. Goldstein was one of the discoverers of endorphins, in part because of the work he was able to accomplish at the Foundation. Goldstein was a consultant to Varian-related company Syva prior to the Addiction Research Foundation, and Packard was on the ARF Board of Directors from the beginning. Varian also sold the group some analytical instruments. The Foundation originally offered experimental treatment of heroin addicts, and later studied nicotine addiction and the development of non-addictive pain-killers. The collection only contains organizational records, and no medical or scientific data is present.
