Tony,

There is a large version of that Manship gnomon (one of my favorites) at
Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina.  To see images of it, go to:

...which turns out to be plaster and explains the white colour.
Somehow I doubt if the huge full-size version could have survived anywhere
but the small bronze? model on a marble? base must be preserved somewhere.

Any ideas?

P.S.  Many of the images my name spawns in Google Images seem to come from
websites and PowerPoint presentations. 'Big Brother' seems to be watching.

That might not be *the* reason, but I am certain that Google search on your
computer does "know you". Pros and cons...

Yes, Google Images offers many hits, mostly irrelevant. Frank King BSS 
Cambridge brings up only one image. Ditto Frank King sundials. Roger Bailey 
sundials brings up 10 legitimate hits on my computer, the first ten of many 
irrelevant hits. Is this because Google searching on my computer knows me?
