David Packard, 50, and William R. Hewlett, 49, are shirtsleeved electrical engineers whose idea of a satisfying day's work is just puttering about in a laboratory. Somewhat to their bemusement, Packard and Hewlett now find themselves running a $100 million corporation that won't stop growing. In the 24 years since they went into business together, their Hewlett-Packard Co. of Palo Alto, Calif., has grown from a combined office-laboratory in a one-car garage into the world's biggest manufacturer of electronic measuring devices.

"Communism," he preached, "is doing something. It is following Christ's standards." He even attributes his vigorous health to the Reds; he and his wife inject themselves with a mysterious, Rumanian-developed novocain serum called...
