7# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22): |
8# 9# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is 10# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition), 11# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). |

13# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source 14# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport 15# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), 16# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries 17# of the IATA's data after 1990. 18# 19# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990, 20# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. 21# |
22# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, 23# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which 24# I found in the UCLA library. 25# 26# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is 27# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude, 28# Oxford University Press (1980). 29# --- 228 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 258Rule Egypt 1942 only - Oct 27 0:00 0 - 259Rule Egypt 1943 1945 - Nov 1 0:00 0 - 260Rule Egypt 1945 only - Apr 16 0:00 1:00 S 261Rule Egypt 1957 only - May 10 0:00 1:00 S 262Rule Egypt 1957 1958 - Oct 1 0:00 0 - 263Rule Egypt 1958 only - May 1 0:00 1:00 S 264Rule Egypt 1959 1981 - May 1 1:00 1:00 S 265Rule Egypt 1959 1965 - Sep 30 3:00 0 - |
