Abstract. A sundial $T\subset \mathbb {P}^r$ is a certain flat limit of two disjoint lines with $T_{\red}$ a reducible conic. Let $A\subset \mathbb {P}^r$, $r$ large, the double of a linear space. We prove that a general union of $A$ and lines or sundials has the expected postulation. Instead of $A$ we may take other low dimensional multiple structures if certain numerical conditions on their Hilbert function are satisfied.
