Abstract
Pomerene describes his experiences working for the Institute for Advanced Study Computer Project as the first engineer to work on the electronic components in 1946 and as the project's chief engineer from 1951. He reviews the personal interactions and technical decisions that surrounded the project's development. He discusses the roles of John von Neumann and Herman Goldstine, the personalities of some of the project staff, and the aborted attempt to employ the RCA Selectron electrostatic memory tube.
