GET COMET. The GET City Optimized Managed Electric Transport (COMET) is an electric minibus developed by American firm Pangea Motors and manufactured and distributed by Global Electric Transport.

Design
Often characterized as an electric jeepney (e-jeep) in the Philippines, the City Optimized Managed Electric Transport (COMET) was designed specifically to fulfill the public transportation needs of Metro Manila, as a potential replacement for traditional open-air jeepneys, which are also noted as a major contributor to air pollution in the metropolis. The COMET was designed by United States-based Pangea Motors and is distributed and manufactured by Global Electric Transport (GET). A team from the United States went to the Philippines as part of the design process for the COMET minibus.

Unlike traditional jeepneys, the COMET has the capability to accommodate standing passengers and its doors are positioned on the sides instead in the back. It is also powered by lithium-ion batteries instead of diesel. GET would also allow COMET owners to customized the exterior of the vehicles similar to the kitschy jeepney art of its conventional counterparts.

Use in public transport
The COMET, is touted as a replacement to traditional jeepneys in the Philippines which plies routes in urban centers. In contrast to traditional jeepneys, where passengers could board and alight at any point in a given route in practice; COMETs were only allowed to do so at certain designated stops. The COMETs' public transport operations are managed by a Command Center, ran by Pangea Philippines which could track individual COMETs using GPS installed on each vehicle. Fares are paid through a dedicated contactless smart card by GET.

The COMET was first used for public transport in Quezon City in September 2014. The vehicle was relaunched on September 3, 2015 with changes made to increase its electrical range and adjustments to its air suspension. In December 2021, operations started in Valenzuela.

The Light Rail Manila Corp. along with GET also opened routes in Metro Manila.

Computing engines

ICCE I 

The first Imperial College Computing Engine, ICCE I, was constructed by Sidney Michaelson, Tony Brooker and Keith Tocher in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was a relay based machine which gave relatively slow but highly reliable service. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

ICCE II 

ICCE II was constructed by Sidney Michaelson, Keith Tocher and Manny Lehman in the early 1950s. This valve based machine was never completed. ICCE II was taken by Keith Tocher to British Steel. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

Influence on other machines 

ICCE I and II influenced the design of SABRAC, the  computer constructed in Israel by The Israeli MoD Scientific Department.

Project termination 

In 1956/7, the project was forcibly terminated. Staff dispersed. In 1951 Tony Brooker had left to join the Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester. Keith Tocher took ICCE II and went to work at British Steel, Sidney Michaelson went to the University of Edinburgh and founded the Computer Unit which subsequently became the Department of Computer Science, now the school of informatics. Manny Lehman ultimately joined the Israeli MoD Scientific Department which subsequently became Rafael.
