2693# suggests that the transition was more gradual, and that the Swiss did not
2694# agree about civil time during the transition. The timekeeping it gives the
2695# most detail for is postal and telegraph time: here, federal legislation (the

2697# 1851-11-23, and an official implementation notice was published 1853-07-16
2698# (Bundesblatt 1853, Bd. II, S. 859). On p 72 Messerli writes that in
2699# practice since July 1853 Bernese time was used in "all postal and telegraph
2700# offices in Switzerland from Geneva to St. Gallen and Basel to Chiasso"
2701# (Google translation). For now, model this transition as occurring on
2702# 1853-07-16, though it probably occurred at some other date in Zurich, and
2703# legal civil time probably changed at still some other transition date.
