His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, 2758787Sru# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. 2858787Sru# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00, 2958787Sru# and the most of the country soon followed suit. 3058787Sru 31149514Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16): 32149514Swollman# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time. 33149514Swollman# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005). 34149514Swollman 35158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): 3614343Swollman# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is 3714343Swollman# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition), 3814343Swollman# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). 3914343Swollman# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it. 40158421Swollman# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below. 4114343Swollman 4275267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): 4317200Swollman# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin 4475267Swollman# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost 4575267Swollman# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26). 4617200Swollman# Not everyone is happy with the results: 4717200Swollman# 4817200Swollman# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some 4917200Swollman# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving 5017200Swollman# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. 5117200Swollman# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something 5217200Swollman# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer 5317200Swollman# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to 5417200Swollman# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving 5517200Swollman# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager 5617200Swollman# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make 5717200Swollman# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. 5817200Swollman# 59149514Swollman# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 60149514Swollman# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday 6175267Swollman# 6275267Swollman# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see 6375267Swollman# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html"> 6475267Swollman# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint 6575267Swollman# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>. 6675267Swollman# 6775267Swollman# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919. 6875267Swollman# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which 6975267Swollman# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently 7075267Swollman# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time". 7117200Swollman 722742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson: 732742Swollman# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974. 7419878Swollman# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26 7519878Swollman# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post. 762742Swollman 772742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson: 782742Swollman# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of 792742Swollman# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. 802742Swollman 8167578Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25): 8267578Swollman# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama. 8367578Swollman# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." 8467578Swollman# An AltaVista search turned up 8567578Swollman# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">: 8667578Swollman# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace 8767578Swollman# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful." 8867578Swollman# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation. 8967578Swollman 90149514Swollman# From Joseph Gallant citing 9167578Swollman# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987): 9267578Swollman# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set 9386222Swollman# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people 9467578Swollman# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account, 9567578Swollman# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender, 9667578Swollman# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word 9767578Swollman# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in 9886222Swollman# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech. 9967578Swollman 100114173Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From 101114173Swollman# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: 102114173Swollman# 103114173Swollman# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. 104114173Swollman# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a 105114173Swollman# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. 106114173Swollman# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out 107114173Swollman# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental 108114173Swollman# importance." 109114173Swollman# 110114173Swollman# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open 111114173Swollman# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, 112114173Swollman# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. 113114173Swollman# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." 114114173Swollman# 115114173Swollman# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. 116114173Swollman 117149590Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): 118149590Swollman# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations 119149590Swollman# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of 120149590Swollman# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed 121149590Swollman# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected. 122149590Swollman 1232742Swollman# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 12475267SwollmanRule US 1918 1919 - Mar lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1252742SwollmanRule US 1918 1919 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1262742SwollmanRule US 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 12767578SwollmanRule US 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1282742SwollmanRule US 1945 only - Sep 30 2:00 0 S 129149514SwollmanRule US 1967 2006 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1302742SwollmanRule US 1967 1973 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1312742SwollmanRule US 1974 only - Jan 6 2:00 1:00 D 1322742SwollmanRule US 1975 only - Feb 23 2:00 1:00 D 1332742SwollmanRule US 1976 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 134149514SwollmanRule US 1987 2006 - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D 135149514SwollmanRule US 2007 max - Mar Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 136149514SwollmanRule US 2007 max - Nov Sun>=1 2:00 0 S 1372742Swollman 138153761Swollman# From Arthur David Olson, 2005-12-19 139153761Swollman# We generate the files specified below to guard against old files with 140153761Swollman# obsolete information being left in the time zone binary directory. 141153761Swollman# We limit the list to names that have appeared in previous versions of 142153761Swollman# this time zone package. 143153761Swollman# We do these as separate Zones rather than as Links to avoid problems if 144153761Swollman# a particular place changes whether it observes DST. 145153761Swollman# We put these specifications here in the northamerica file both to 146153761Swollman# increase the chances that they'll actually get compiled and to 147153761Swollman# avoid the need to duplicate the US rules in another file. 148153761Swollman 149153761Swollman# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 150153761SwollmanZone EST -5:00 - EST 151153761SwollmanZone MST -7:00 - MST 152153761SwollmanZone HST -10:00 - HST 153153761SwollmanZone EST5EDT -5:00 US E%sT 154153761SwollmanZone CST6CDT -6:00 US C%sT 155153761SwollmanZone MST7MDT -7:00 US M%sT 156153761SwollmanZone PST8PDT -8:00 US P%sT 157153761Swollman 15819878Swollman# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28): 1592742Swollman# ...Alaska (and Hawaii) had the timezone names changed in 1967. 1602742Swollman# old new 1612742Swollman# Pacific Standard Time(PST) -same- 1622742Swollman# Yukon Standard Time(YST) -same- 1632742Swollman# Central Alaska S.T.

This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say 2146158421Swollman# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports 214775267Swollman# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and 2148158421Swollman# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that 214975267Swollman# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then. This concerns 215075267Swollman# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone 215175267Swollman# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its 215275267Swollman# name or contents should be. 21532742Swollman# 21542742Swollman# Revillagigedo Is 21552742Swollman# no information 21562742Swollman 21572742Swollman############################################################################### 21582742Swollman 21592742Swollman# Anguilla 21602742Swollman# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 21612742SwollmanZone America/Anguilla -4:12:16 - LMT 1912 Mar 2 21622742Swollman -4:00 - AST 21632742Swollman 21642742Swollman# Antigua and Barbuda 21652742Swollman# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 21662742SwollmanZone America/Antigua -4:07:12 - LMT 1912 Mar 2 21672742Swollman -5:00 - EST 1951 21682742Swollman -4:00 - AST 21692742Swollman 21702742Swollman# Bahamas 2171169811Swollman# 2172169811Swollman# From Sue Williams (2006-12-07): 2173169811Swollman# The Bahamas announced about a month ago that they plan to change their DST 2174169811Swollman# rules to sync with the U.S. starting in 2007.... 2175169811Swollman# http://www.jonesbahamas.com/?c=45&a=10412 2176169811Swollman 21772742Swollman# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 2178181421SedwinRule Bahamas 1964 1975 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 2179181421SedwinRule Bahamas 1964 1975 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 21802742Swollman# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 21812742SwollmanZone America/Nassau -5:09:24 - LMT 1912 Mar 2 2182169811Swollman -5:00 Bahamas E%sT 1976 2183169811Swollman -5:00 US E%sT 21842742Swollman 21852742Swollman# Barbados 21862742Swollman# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 21872742SwollmanRule Barb 1977 only - Jun 12 2:00 1:00 D 21882742SwollmanRule Barb 1977 1978 - Oct Sun>=1 2:00 0 S 21892742SwollmanRule Barb 1978 1980 - Apr Sun>=15 2:00 1:00 D 21902742SwollmanRule Barb 1979 only - Sep 30 2:00 0 S 21912742SwollmanRule Barb 1980 only - Sep 25 2:00 0 S 21922742Swollman# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 21932742SwollmanZone America/Barbados -3:58:28 - LMT 1924 # Bridgetown 219443014Swollman -3:58:28 - BMT 1932 # Bridgetown Mean Time 21952742Swollman -4:00 Barb A%sT 21962742Swollman 21972742Swollman# Belize 2198158421Swollman# Whitman entirely disagrees with Shanks; go with Shanks & Pottenger. 21992742Swollman# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 22002742SwollmanRule Belize 1918 1942 - Oct Sun>=2 0:00 0:30 HD 22012742SwollmanRule Belize 1919 1943 - Feb Sun>=9 0:00 0 S 22022742SwollmanRule Belize 1973 only - Dec 5 0:00 1:00 D 22032742SwollmanRule Belize 1974 only - Feb 9 0:00 0 S 22042742SwollmanRule Belize 1982 only - Dec 18 0:00 1:00 D 22052742SwollmanRule Belize 1983 only - Feb 12 0:00 0 S 22062742Swollman# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 22072742SwollmanZone America/Belize -5:52:48 - LMT 1912 Apr 22082742Swollman -6:00 Belize C%sT 22092742Swollman 22102742Swollman# Bermuda 2211163302Sru 2212163302Sru# From Dan Jones, reporting in The Royal Gazette (2006-06-26): 2213163302Sru 2214163302Sru# Next year, however, clocks in the US will go forward on the second Sunday 2215163302Sru# in March, until the first Sunday in November.
