11309577Sglebius# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
12309577Sglebius
13309577Sglebius# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
14309577Sglebius# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
15309577Sglebius# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
16309577Sglebius# the file 'backward'.
17309577Sglebius
18309577Sglebius# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
19309577Sglebius# pre-1970 time stamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
20309577Sglebius# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
21309577Sglebius# most of the era.  Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
22309577Sglebius# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file.  Many of
23309577Sglebius# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
24309577Sglebius# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
25309577Sglebius# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 time stamps.
26309577Sglebius
27309577Sglebius# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
28309577Sglebius# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
29309577Sglebius# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
30309577Sglebius# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.

36309577Sglebius# Zones are sorted by zone name.  Each zone is preceded by the

43309577Sglebius# Ethiopia
44309577Sglebius# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
45309577Sglebius# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
46309577Sglebius# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
47309577Sglebius# 02:00 or 14:00.  Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
48309577Sglebius#
49309577Sglebius# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
50309577Sglebius# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
51309577Sglebius# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05.  Perhaps 38E50
52309577Sglebius# was for Adis Dera.  Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
53309577Sglebius# anyway.

318309577Sglebius# America/Toronto.  However, earlier versions of the tz database

580309577Sglebius# From Lester Caine (2013-09-04):
581309577Sglebius# The Isle of Man legislation is now on-line at
582325322Sgordon# <https://www.legislation.gov.im>, starting with the original Statutory
583309577Sglebius# Time Act in 1883 and including additional confirmation of some of
584309577Sglebius# the dates of the 'Summer Time' orders originating at
585309577Sglebius# Westminster.  There is a little uncertainty as to the starting date
586325322Sgordon# of the first summer time in 1916 which may have been announced a
587309577Sglebius# couple of days late.  There is still a substantial number of
588309577Sglebius# documents to work through, but it is thought that every GB change
589309577Sglebius# was also implemented on the island.
