It's always a pleasure during a service visit or installation to have the
opportunity to soak up from the font of knowledge carried around in the
brains of the NMR engineers. I was the beneficent of a recent visit from
a man who'd been around the proverbial NMR block who shares my insatiable
need to understand the why's and how's of what we do around the NMR lab.
The engineer, who prefers to live in anonymity, mentioned an old paper by
Paul A. Keifer "90-degree pulse width calibrations: How to read a pulse width
array". Concepts in Magnetic Resonance, Apr 20, 1999. This is a true
masterpiece that left my jaw dropped. So many questions I have had over
the years answered in one single paper.
It made me wonder how many other gems of the past that are out there which
might need resurrection for the benefit of the newer generation of NMR
chemists and lab managers to be. I was hoping that those of you in the list
who have been around longer than I might share your favorites and give us
all some good bedtime reads.
Thanks!
