| 907# From Paul Eggert (2017-04-20): 908# Good luck trying to nail down old timekeeping records in India. 909# "... in the nineteenth century ... Madras Observatory took its magnetic 910# measurements on G��ttingen time, its meteorological measurements on Madras 911# (local) time, dropped its time ball on Greenwich (ocean navigator's) time, 912# and distributed civil (local time)." -- Bartky IR. Selling the true time: 913# 19th-century timekeeping in america. Stanford U Press (2000), 247 note 19. 914# "A more potent cause of resistance to the general adoption of the present 915# standard time lies in the fact that it is Madras time. The citizen of 916# Bombay, proud of being 'primus in Indis' and of Calcutta, equally proud of 917# his city being the Capital of India, and - for a part of the year - the Seat 918# of the Supreme Government, alike look down on Madras, and refuse to change 919# the time they are using, for that of what they regard as a benighted 920# Presidency; while Madras, having for long given the standard time to the 921# rest of India, would resist the adoption of any other Indian standard in its 922# place." -- Oldham RD. On Time in India: a suggestion for its improvement. 923# Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (April 1899), 49-55. 924# 925# "In 1870 ... Madras time - 'now used by the telegraph and regulated from the 926# only government observatory' - was suggested as a standard railway time, 927# first to be adopted on the Great Indian Peninsular Railway (GIPR).... 928# Calcutta, Bombay, and Karachi, were to be allowed to continue with their 929# local time for civil purposes." - Prasad R. Tracks of Change: Railways and 930# Everyday Life in Colonial India. Cambridge University Press (2016), 145. 931# 932# Reed S, Low F. The Indian Year Book 1936-37. Bennett, Coleman, pp 27-8. 933# https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.282212 934# This lists +052110 as Madras local time used in railways, and says that on 935# 1906-01-01 railways and telegraphs in India switched to +0530. Some 936# municipalities retained their former time, and the time in Calcutta 937# continued to depend on whether you were at the railway station or at 938# government offices. Government time was at +055320 (according to Shanks) or 939# at +0554 (according to the Indian Year Book). Railway time is more 940# appropriate for our purposes, as it was better documented, it is what we do 941# elsewhere (e.g., Europe/London before 1880), and after 1906 it was 942# consistent in the region now identified by Asia/Kolkata. So, use railway 943# time for 1870-1941. Shanks is our only (and dubious) source for the 944# 1941-1945 data. 945 |
