47# Hamilton is the largest, but there is also a Hamilton in Victoria,

421# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
422# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is

425#
426# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
427# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
428# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
429# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
430# of the IATA's data after 1990.
431#
432# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
433# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
434#
435# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
436# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
