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!

On the Mason-Dixon line at the PA-MD line about 2/10 miles east of the MD-PA-WV tri point.
This stone was placed in 1883 to mark, it was thought at the time, to be the MD-PA-WV tri point, but it was too far east.
I'm unsure whether or not this was invented by Sir Clive Sinclair, the inventor of the pocket calculator, among many other things. Either way, I can't imagine why selling Big Wheels to adults didn't go over. My cousins remembered the brief phenomenon.
UPDATE: See comments and check out the Wiki. It seems that this is the DeLorean of recumbent-hybrid-electric-pedal-tricycles: A revolutionary idea, a total flop,and a later cult following.
GO U.K. in the early 80's!
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.

To be honest, I think Sinclars is a bit of a dive but thats only my opinon (they don't do propper beer).
A window has been installd on one side of the building to show the point where the two building were joined together. It also shows the contrasting methods of construction of the two structures.

The Sinclair Castle, aka Castle Sinclair Girnigoe, is located on the east coast of Caithness, Scotland. Built in the late 1400s or early 1500s, it is considered to be one of the earliest seats of Clan Sinclair. More info on the castle can be found at www.castlesinclairgirnigoe.org/index.html
Sinclair Community College’s founder, David A. Sinclair, was part of Clan Sinclair. Several Sinclair employees, including the college’s current president Steven Johnson, have visited the castle during a trip to Scotland.
