Gamos (1867–1893) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 1870 Epsom Oaks. Sold to William Graham as a yearling, Gamos won six out of eight starts as a two-year-old in 1869, but failed to improve her racing form after the 1870 Oaks. Gamos raced until she was four-years-old and retired from racing in 1871. Gamos was not successful as a breeding mare and died in 1893 after being sold for £15 in 1890.
Gamos was bred by Lord Falmouth and was foaled at his Mereworth stud farm in 1867. Her sire, Saunterer, was a black horse bred by R.M. Jacques and foaled in 1854 at Easby Abbey in Yorkshire. He was owned during and after his three-year-old season by James Merry, winning the Chester Handicap and the 1858 Goodwood Cup. Her dam, Bess Lyon, was an unsuccessful racehorse that was bought by Lord Falmouth in 1860. Bess Lyon produced eight foals between 1865 and 1877, including four full-siblings to Gamos: the fillies Loadstar and Marriage (sent to South Africa in 1875) and the colts Libertine and King George.
Peter Dunn OBE (20 January 1927 – 7 March 2014) was a British engineer.
After working at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell and jointly holding numerous patents on heat pipes and associated technology with power stations, Prof Peter Dunn started the Department of Engineering at the University of Reading in 1968. As head of department, alongside his friend Dr E. F. Schumacher and through the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, Peter Dunn was on the first committees working with Intermediate Technology or Appropriate Technology. These committees led to the formation of the Intermediate Technology Development Group (now Practical Action). He encouraged the Departmental research group to contribute to the developing sectors of intermediate technology.
Peter Dunn started the world's first Master of Science Degrees in Renewable Energy in 1977. The research group contributed to early UK work on wind energy. The group included Dr Musgrove who went on to be the first Chairman of the British Wind Energy Association (now called RenewableUK) and then on to head of development at National Wind Power. In 1998 Professor Peter Douglas Dunn was honoured with an OBE, Order of the British Empire "For services to the development of innovative energy technologies". (Oxon, Oxfordshire)
