YES, "Modern Sunclocks" is most certainly still in business (it originally began as a hobby in 1986, and this became a full-time occupation in 1991). We are still here in Scotland, but our E-mail address was changed in 1998. We sell many hundreds of sets of personalised "Sunclock" Layout Plans each year, worldwide, and mainly to Schools (who usually just paint these on to their playground). This gives them an interesting curriculum-wide outdoor project, also brightening-up their playground with a feature which is both functional plus decorative - and could even be used as a fund-raiser, too! Apart from Schools, we also supply many Layout Plans to private gardeners, Parks, Architects or Landscapers, etc - who want to have a unique, vandal- resistant and 'interactive' feature (mainly being used in 'public' areas). So far this year, such public "Sunclocks" have ranged from Alaska (Juneau) to Australia (Katanning) - plus France, Germany, Mallorca, Nepal, and USA. As regards the original posting, by Bob Terwilliger, for a proposed layout in Philadelphia - I had a lengthy telephone conversation with Chris Howse, who visited our web-site, and intends to obtain a set of "Sunclock" Plans. We can supply these in traditional 'printed' format, or an E-mail version. Incidentally - if any USA-based members of the 'Sundial Mailing List' know some people who might have an interest in becoming a 'Distributor' for our business, then please ask them to get in contact with me. There is a vast market - as every large, sunny, level, piece of ground (including any flat roof-terraces!) is a potential customer for one of these 'Human Sundials'. Each layout automatically becomes its own 'advertisement', of course - and so leads to an ever-expanding 'chain reaction' of future enquiries/orders.
