My mid 1960's Sinclair bagpipes as I've known them since my Mom and Dad bought them in the late 60's.
The Tall Sign Was Added By Sinclair In The Late 1960's, When The Station Was Built. The Original Logo Survived All The Way Until Circa 2010. Then, A Newer Square-Shaped Sinclair Logo Replaced The Previous One At That Time. Then In Early 2019, A Storm Knocked Out And Destroyed The Logo Of The Sign. Since 2019, There Unfortunately Was No Logo On The Sign.
The Station Has Always Been A Sinclair And Still Survives As One To This Day!

The Miami Valley Teen Coding Challenge - #Unhackable: Keeping it Secure - launched this September with a special event in building 12. #Unhackable is a 12 week programing competition which features 20 teams of students from 7 area high schools, who will work over the course of the fall on projects that focus on improving data security.
Teams will be judged on quality, execution, creativity, and the potential impact on the Miami Valley region.
Sinclair, along with AT&T, are proud to sponsor such a fantastic competition! Good luck to all the teams!
I'm an admirer of Sir Clive Sinclair. I've owned three of his designs: a build-it-yourself digital watch with invisible control switches, a super-compact programmable calculator, and the world's least expensive personal computer. But I'd never heard of this one.
The C5 is a sort of powered recumbent tricycle, with a 1/3hp electric motor driving the rear wheels and a set of pedals so that you can give it an extra boost when that 1/3hp doesn't cut it (which was apparently most of the time). With a top speed of 15 mph on level ground and a profile so low that it was almost invisible (especially in its urban-camouflage offwhite color scheme), it was not the safest mode of transportation around, and the fact that the handlebars, throttle and brakes were located under your thighs did little for stability and precise control. So it was an abject failure. But you can't say it was unoriginal.
Sir Clive was a master at thinking outside the box. Every once in a while, we're reminded that there was a reason for the box.
