There was a photo 1102742Swollman# and a sketch map showing some of the sightlines involved. One paragraph 1112742Swollman# of the text said: 1122742Swollman# 113257682Sedwin# 'An old stone obelisk marking a forgotten terrestrial meridian stands 11421217Swollman# beside the river at Kew. In the 18th century, before time and longitude 1152742Swollman# was standardised by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, scholars observed 1162742Swollman# this stone and the movement of stars from Kew Observatory nearby. They 1172742Swollman# made their calculations and set the time for the Horse Guards and Parliament, 1182742Swollman# but now the stone is obscured by scrubwood and can only be seen by walking 1192742Swollman# along the towpath within a few yards of it.' 1202742Swollman# 1212742Swollman# I have a one inch to one mile map of London and my estimate of the stone's 122273438Sdelphij# position is 51 degrees 28' 30" N, 0 degrees 18' 45" W. The longitude should 1232742Swollman# be within about +-2". The Ordnance Survey grid reference is TQ172761. 1242742Swollman# 1252742Swollman# [This yields GMTOFF = -0:01:15 for London LMT in the 18th century.] 1262742Swollman 127149514Swollman# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): 1282742Swollman# 1292742Swollman# Howse writes that Britain was the first country to use standard time. 1302742Swollman# The railways cared most about the inconsistencies of local mean time, 1312742Swollman# and it was they who forced a uniform time on the country. 13258787Sru# The original idea was credited to Dr. William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828) 13358787Sru# and was popularized by Abraham Follett Osler (1808-1903). 1342742Swollman# The first railway to adopt London time was the Great Western Railway 1352742Swollman# in November 1840; other railways followed suit, and by 1847 most 13658787Sru# (though not all) railways used London time. On 1847-09-22 the 1372742Swollman# Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that GMT be 13858787Sru# adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it. 13958787Sru# The transition occurred on 12-01 for the L&NW, the Caledonian, 14058787Sru# and presumably other railways; the January 1848 Bradshaw's lists many 1412742Swollman# railways as using GMT. By 1855 the vast majority of public 14258787Sru# clocks in Britain were set to GMT (though some, like the great clock 14358787Sru# on Tom Tower at Christ Church, Oxford, were fitted with two minute hands, 1442742Swollman# one for local time and one for GMT). The last major holdout was the legal 1452742Swollman# system, which stubbornly stuck to local time for many years, leading 1462742Swollman# to oddities like polls opening at 08:13 and closing at 16:13. 1472742Swollman# The legal system finally switched to GMT when the Statutes (Definition 14858787Sru# of Time) Act took effect; it received the Royal Assent on 1880-08-02. 1492742Swollman# 1502742Swollman# In the tables below, we condense this complicated story into a single 15158787Sru# transition date for London, namely 1847-12-01. We don't know as much 15258787Sru# about Dublin, so we use 1880-08-02, the legal transition time. 1532742Swollman 154273438Sdelphij# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-19): 155273438Sdelphij# The ancients had no need for daylight saving, as they kept time 156273438Sdelphij# informally or via hours whose length depended on the time of year. 157273438Sdelphij# Daylight saving time in its modern sense was invented by the 158273438Sdelphij# New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson (1867-1946), 159273438Sdelphij# whose day job as a postal clerk led him to value 160273438Sdelphij# after-hours daylight in which to pursue his research. 161273438Sdelphij# In 1895 he presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society 162273438Sdelphij# that proposed a two-hour daylight-saving shift.

On the south face of the monolith, 182273438Sdelphij# designed by G. W. Miller, is the William Willett Memorial Sundial, 183121098Swollman# which is permanently set to Summer Time. 18417200Swollman 185121098Swollman# From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28): 186121098Swollman# It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of 187121098Swollman# summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country 188121098Swollman# between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which 189121098Swollman# plunged Europe into darkness for four years, and shook the 190121098Swollman# foundations of civilization throughout the world. 191309568Sglebius# -- "A Silent Toast to William Willett", Pictorial Weekly; 192309568Sglebius# republished in Finest Hour (Spring 2002) 1(114):26 193309568Sglebius# http://www.winstonchurchill.org/images/finesthour/Vol.01%20No.114.pdf 194121098Swollman 195309568Sglebius# From Paul Eggert (2015-08-08): 196257682Sedwin# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said "Daylight Saving" 19719878Swollman# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this 19819878Swollman# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the 199257682Sedwin# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using "Summer". 200309568Sglebius# The term "Summer Time" was introduced by Herbert Samuel, Home Secretary; see: 201309568Sglebius# Viscount Samuel.

Svalbard was declared 198486222Swollman# as a part of Norway by law of 1925-07-17 no 11, section 4 and Jan 198586222Swollman# Mayen by law of 1930-02-27 no 2, section 2. (From 1986273438Sdelphij# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19250717-011.html> and 1987273438Sdelphij# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19300227-002.html>). The law/regulation 198886222Swollman# for normal/standard time in Norway is from 1894-06-29 no 1 (came 198986222Swollman# into operation on 1895-01-01) and Svalbard/Jan Mayen seem to be a 199086222Swollman# part of this law since 1925/1930. (From 1991273438Sdelphij# <http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-18940629-001.html>) I have not been 199286222Swollman# able to find if Jan Mayen used a different time zone (e.g. -0100) 1993273438Sdelphij# before 1930. Jan Mayen has only been "inhabited" since 1921 by 199486222Swollman# Norwegian meteorologists and maybe used the same time as Norway ever 199586222Swollman# since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since 199686222Swollman# before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere 199786222Swollman# between 1895 and 1925 (inclusive). 199886222Swollman 1999257682Sedwin# From Paul Eggert (2013-09-04): 200086222Swollman# 200186222Swollman# Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II, 2002138323Swollman# so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Oslo was 200386222Swollman# keeping Berlin time. 200486222Swollman# 200586222Swollman# <http://home.no.net/janmayen/history.htm> says that the meteorologists 200686222Swollman# burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in 200786222Swollman# 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite 2008273438Sdelphij# frequent air attacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a 200986222Swollman# radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly 2010257682Sedwin# the UT offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that 201186222Swollman# Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules. 201286222Swollman# 201386222Swollman# Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an 201486222Swollman# Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says 201586222Swollman# <http://www.bartleby.com/65/sv/Svalbard.html>). The Svalbard FAQ 201686222Swollman# <http://www.svalbard.com/SvalbardFAQ.html> says that the Germans were 201786222Swollman# expelled on 1942-05-14.
