421# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22): |
422# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is 423# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition), 424# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). |
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 437# I found in the UCLA library. 438# 439# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is 440# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude, 441# Oxford University Press (1980). 442# --- 377 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 820 821# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19); 822# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand. 823# Robert Uzgalis <buz@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> writes that the New Zealand Daylight 824# Savings Time Order in Council dated 1990-06-18 specifies 2:00 standard 825# time on both the first Sunday in October and the third Sunday in March. 826# As with Australia, we'll assume the tradition is 2:00s, not 2:00. 827# |
828# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22): 829# Shanks gives no data for Chatham; usno1989 says it's +12:45, 830# usno1995 says it's +12:45/+13:45, and IATA SSIM (1991/1996) 831# gives the NZ rules but with transitions at 2:45 local standard time. 832# Guess that they adopted DST in 1990. |

We go with Shanks's more precise date in 1915. --- 49 unchanged lines hidden --- |
