Abstract
The first high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer operated at 30 Mcy/sec (7.05 kilogauss). The magnets constituted the only major obstacle to raising the frequency, but by continuous development over 10 years this frequency for proton resonance was increased to 100 Mcy/sec (23.4 kilogauss). Now, in one step, a system has been made to operate at twice this frequency and field intensity. It is not expected that superconducting magnets will generally replace iron magnets, but it is interesting to note that very few laboratories use the 30- and 40-Mcy/sec proton systems today.
