We report an absolute measurement of the tensor analyzing powers {ital T}{sub 20} and {ital T}{sub 22} in elastic electron-deuteron scattering at a momentum transfer of 1.6 fm{sup {minus}1}. The novel approach of this measurement is the use of a tensor polarized {sup 2}H target internal to an electron storage ring, with {ital in} {ital situ} measurement of the polarization of the target gas. Scattered electrons and recoil deuterons were detected in coincidence with two large acceptance nonmagnetic detectors. The techniques demonstrated have broad applicability to further measurements of spin-dependent electron scattering. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
