Charles Clark Loomis. Charles Clark Loomis, (February 26, 1921 - July 14, 2011) was a mathematical physicist on Project Orion.

Loomis joined General Atomics division of General Dynamics Corporation at the John Jay Hopkins Laboratory for Pure and Applied Science, San Diego, California.

Project Orion
Loomis, was a mathematical physicist from Los Alamos, who helped Ted Taylor with his ideas for Project Orion. He in charge of General Atomic's first computers. Loomis's office was next door to Taylor's. Taylor told him about the sense of discouragement because Orion was so big, but he said "Well, think big! If it isn't big, it's the wrong concept. What's wrong with it being big?" it was this discussion that everything flipped for Project Orion. It was Loomis's call that if you were serious about exploring the solar system, who not use something the size of the Queen Mary? He understood that bombs could in principle do it. Loomis is listed on a report indicating he had worked on the meter model tests.

Later career
Charles Loomis joined S-Cubed after Project Orion was cancelled.

Death
Loomis died on July 14, 2011.

Outer Sydney Orbital. The Outer Sydney Orbital is a proposed corridor for a motorway and freight rail line in Western Sydney. The motorway is proposed to be signposted M9 or M10. Sydney Outer Orbital motorway will be connecting Gosford – Western Sydney Airport – Wollongong.

Outer Ring road will be connecting through Campbelltown, Penrith and Richmond Road.

Alignment
The preferred corridor alignments of the Outer Sydney Orbital have been announced for the following sections:
Stage 1: between Richmond Road  and Hume Motorway - announced in June 2018
Stage 2 Sector 1: between Hume Motorway and Appin Road east of Appin - announced in August 2021

, corridor identification will continue for:
Stage 2 Sector 2: Appin Road and Picton Road corridors
Stage 2 Sector 3: connections in the Illawarra including a potential new Illawarra escarpment crossing.

Grade separated interchanges will be provided at:
 Richmond Road
 Bells Line of Road – Castlereagh Connection: a connection road to Bells Line of Road at Kurrajong via Castlereagh
 Great Western Highway
 M4 Western Motorway
 Southern Access Road (BWSEA)
 Luddenham Road / M12 Motorway / Elizabeth Drive / The Northern Road
 Bringelly Road / Greendale Road
 Camden Valley Way
 Hume Motorway
 Appin Road

History
As part of economic development of Western Sydney, including the construction of the Western Sydney Airport at , The Northern Road was proposed to be upgraded to a grade separated motorway. The proposal, then known as the M9 Outer-Western Sydney Orbital motorway, would link the M31 Hume Motorway at  with the Central Coast via ,  and .

As part of the State Budget 2014–15, the NSW Government announced a $5.5 billion road package for Western Sydney. It includes $4.6 million for planning the M9 Motorway. The preferred corridor for the motorway was expected to be announced later in 2014 before plans are made for reserving land.

The Outer Sydney Orbital was split into a few stages for separate corridor identification:
Stage 1: between Box Hill and Hume Motorway
Stage 2: between Hume Motorway and Appin Road east of Appin

In June 2018, it was announced that the Stage 1 orbital will consist of a 10 km tunnel between  to , and the number of properties to be acquired will drop from 1,247 to 825, with the number of homes affected down to 200, to the relief of the community. The orbital was originally planned to cut through the town of Cobbitty. The northern end of the orbital was also truncated from Box Hill to Richmond Road at Marsden Park.

Community consultation for the Stage 2 corridor was undertaken between November 2020 and January 2021. In August 2021, the preferred corridor for Stage 2 from Hume Motorway and Appin Road was confirmed.

GE E25B. The GE E25B is a class of four-axle  B-B electric locomotives made by General Electric (GE) in 1976–77. Only seven units were built, all for use by Texas Utilities on two short industrial freight lines.

Design
Similar to the more powerful E60, the E25B was designed for use hauling coal between mines and power plants on industrial short lines. It was designed for operation on 25kV AC at 60 Hz at up to , though normal use was half that speed. It was lighter and less powerful than the E60:  on four axles versus  on six, and at  around two-thirds its weight.

Operation
The seven E25B locomotives built were all used by Texas Utilities on the Martin Lake Line (serving the Martin Lake Power Plant) and the Monticello Line (serving the Monticello Steam Electric Station). They were numbered 2304-2306 and 3301–3304. Electrification was activated on the Monticello Line on October 7, 1976, with service beginning the next day.

The Martin Lake Line began operation in 1977, with two its locomotives delivered later. The four locomotives at Martin Lake ran in shuttle service between a mine and the power plant; those at Monticello ran a shuttle service to a mine in Winfield and also interchanged with the mainline at Leesburg. Trains ran in push-pull configuration, with a small caboose cab mounted on a flatcar at the opposite end of the train from the locomotive.

The E25B locomotives were replaced in 1999 by ex-Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México E60 locomotives.

Guy Bomford. Brigadier Guy Bomford  (28 June 1899 – 10 February 1996; also published as G. Bomford or simply G.B.) was a British geodesist who, at various times in his career, worked for both the Survey of India and the Corps of Royal Engineers. He is best known for Geodesy, a textbook he wrote, as well as his work in military surveying and mapping. From 1963 to 1967 he served as the president of the International Association of Geodesy; the association's Guy Bomford Prize is named for him.

Guy Bomford was born on 28 June 1899 in Temple Ewell; his father was Gerald Bomford, a surgeon who encouraged Guy in science, and his mother was Mary Florence Eteson. Bomford later won a scholarship to Marlborough College. He was commissioned to the Royal Engineers in 1917 after leaving the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. Fighting in World War I, he went to France with the 94 Field Company, but remained at the base for the duration of the war. He was later posted to India, where he experienced fighting on the frontier with Afghanistan, and was the only officer to survive a particular encounter.

In 1921, Bomford joined the Survey of India, with which he remained—with one break—until the outbreak of World War II. During his break from 1922–1924, he studied for an engineering degree at Queens' College, Cambridge; he graduated from Cambridge with first class honors with distinction. Later, during the Second World War, he was again affiliated with the Royal Engineers and was involved in mapping of the Middle East and Burma. He served as Director of Survey, South East Asia Command in 1946, and retired from the army within the next few years.

Following his military career, Bomford was appointed as reader in surveying and geodesy at the University of Oxford, where he was a senior member of Brasenose College. He also pursued education at the Queen's College, and received a Master of Arts degree from Oxford in 1948 as well as a Doctor of Science degree in 1953. He retired from his post as reader in 1966, and became an emeritus.

He died on 10 February 1996 in Sutton Courtenay. During his career, he received the following honors:

 Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS, 1936)
 Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE, 1946)
 Fellow of the Geological Society (FGS, 1947)
 Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS, 1950)
