This article addresses shortcomings in the existing secondary literature describing the nature and involvement of computing at the World War II Los Alamos Lab. Utilizing rarely used source materials, and identifying points of bias among more commonly used sources, this article provides a more complete representation of wartime Los Alamos' computing operations and personnel, including the Lab's typically under-represented human computers, and how they contributed to the success of the Trinity test. This article also identifies how the Lab's unusual wartime computing demands served as a formative experience among many Los Alamos personnel and consultants, who contributed significantly to the development and use of mechanized computing at and beyond Los Alamos after the war.
