airport. The building was L-shaped, one leg a bit higher than the other. A wire across the inner angle from one leg to the other leg was possible and because the height difference was the angle 1.5°. The hour lines were on the parking lot below. The shadow was visible on the parking lot. The management liked the design but didn't use it as far as I know.

Can any of our Mailing-List experts suggest some horizontal sundial design suitable for locations almost on the Equator, (actually 2 Degrees North) ? We have been contacted by a school in Singapore, who would like to install a large playground sundial - BUT ideally having nothing above ground-level to cause any 'accidents', or increase the cost/complexity of their layout. They want to avoid a 'gnomon' obstructing vehicles in the playground area. "MODERN SUNCLOCKS" - 'Human Sundials', using YOUR OWN SHADOW to tell time. Looking for a useful, decorative, yet UNIQUE feature ? - you've found it !
