This paper discusses the technical developments in which the MURA group participated, as recalled at this time by the author. Andrew Sessler contributed to many of these developments. Early work at MURA included the development of fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerators, the radial sector FFAG model, the spiral sector model, the development of the theory of rf acceleration in circular accelerators including beam stacking, and the development of colliding beams as a practical experimental goal. Theoretical studies also included nonlinear orbit computations, space charge limits, and analysis of the negative mass and other instabilities. Experimental studies of many of these phenomena used the FFAG models. The cascade synchrotron, developed during the 1959 MURA Summer Study, was the basis for most modern accelerators.{copyright}{ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
