His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, 28# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. 29 30# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20): 31# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw 32# lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones 33# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer, 34# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the 35# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen 36# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders, 37# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it 38# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan 39# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for 40# railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all 41# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday 42# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon 43# twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing: 44# 45# I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four 46# minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval 47# Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes 48# of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was 49# abandoned, probably forever. 50# 51# Most of the US soon followed suit. See: 52# Bartky IR. The adoption of standard time. Technol Cult 1989 Jan;30(1):25-56. 53# https://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3105430 54 55# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16): 56# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time. 57# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005). 58 59# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): 60# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is 61# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition), 62# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). 63# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it. 64# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below. 65 66# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): 67# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin 68# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost 69# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26). 70# Not everyone is happy with the results: 71# 72# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some 73# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving 74# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. 75# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something 76# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer 77# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to 78# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving 79# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager 80# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make 81# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. 82# 83# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 84# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday 85# 86# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see 87# Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint 88# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927). 89# http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html 90# 91# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919. 92# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which 93# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently 94# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time". 95 96# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04): 97# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules. 98# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving 99# time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last 100# Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday. 101# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf 102# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday. 103# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf 104# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09. 105# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf 106# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30. 107# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf 108# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST, 109# from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967. 110# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf 111# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06. 112# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf 113# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to 114# February's last Sunday. 115# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf 116# * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first 117# Sunday. 118# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-100/pdf/STATUTE-100-Pg764.pdf 119# * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward 120# to March's second Sunday and the fall-back to November's first Sunday. 121# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-109publ58/pdf/PLAW-109publ58.pdf 122# All transitions are at 02:00 local time. 123 124# From Arthur David Olson: 125# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of 126# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. 127 128# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25): 129# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama. 130# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." 131# An AltaVista search turned up: 132# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html 133# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace 134# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'

Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987): 142# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set 143# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people 144# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account, 145# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender, 146# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word 147# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in 148# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech. 149 150# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From 151# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: 152# 153# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. 154# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a 155# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. 156# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out 157# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental 158# importance." 159# 160# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open 161# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, 162# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. 163# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." 164# 165# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. 166 167# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): 168# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations 169# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of 170# U.S. government action.

T-14, Revised Statutes of 1886# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern 1887# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in 1888# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to 1889# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and 1890# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would 1891# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. 1892# 1893# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town 1894# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to 1895# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only 1896# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT 1897# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round 1898# since sometime in the 1960s. 1899 1900# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26): 1901# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages 1902# long and rather painful to read. 1903# http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/T14.pdf 1904 1905# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1906Rule Regina 1918 only - Apr 14 2:00 1:00 D 1907Rule Regina 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 1908Rule Regina 1930 1934 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D 1909Rule Regina 1930 1934 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1910Rule Regina 1937 1941 - Apr Sun>=8 0:00 1:00 D 1911Rule Regina 1937 only - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1912Rule Regina 1938 only - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1913Rule Regina 1939 1941 - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1914Rule Regina 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1915Rule Regina 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1916Rule Regina 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1917Rule Regina 1946 only - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1918Rule Regina 1946 only - Oct Sun>=8 2:00 0 S 1919Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1920Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1921Rule Regina 1959 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1922Rule Regina 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1923# 1924Rule Swift 1957 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1925Rule Swift 1957 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1926Rule Swift 1959 1961 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1927Rule Swift 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1928Rule Swift 1960 1961 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1929# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1930Zone America/Regina -6:58:36 - LMT 1905 Sep 1931 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1960 Apr lastSun 2:00 1932 -6:00 - CST 1933Zone America/Swift_Current -7:11:20 - LMT 1905 Sep 1934 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1946 Apr lastSun 2:00 1935 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1950 1936 -7:00 Swift M%sT 1972 Apr lastSun 2:00 1937 -6:00 - CST 1938 1939 1940# Alberta 1941 1942# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1943Rule Edm 1918 1919 - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1944Rule Edm 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 1945Rule Edm 1919 only - May 27 2:00 0 S 1946Rule Edm 1920 1923 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1947Rule Edm 1920 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1948Rule Edm 1921 1923 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1949Rule Edm 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1950Rule Edm 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1951Rule Edm 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1952Rule Edm 1947 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1953Rule Edm 1947 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1954Rule Edm 1967 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1955Rule Edm 1967 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1956Rule Edm 1969 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1957Rule Edm 1969 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1958Rule Edm 1972 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1959Rule Edm 1972 2006 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1960# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1961Zone America/Edmonton -7:33:52 - LMT 1906 Sep 1962 -7:00 Edm M%sT 1987 1963 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1964 1965 1966# British Columbia 1967 1968# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): 1969# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has 1970# been like Vancouver. 1971# Dawson Creek uses MST.

Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of 2301# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had 2302# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. 2303# 2304# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay 2305# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... 2306# 2307# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March 2308# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I 2309# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able 2310# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was 2311# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone 2312# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). 2313# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks 2314# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in 2315# so they could follow the correct TV schedule... 2316# 2317# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I 2318# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature 2319# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of 2320# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of 2321# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for 2322# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived 2323# and worked in Resolute Bay... 2324# 2325# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that 2326# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of 2327# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead 2328# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay 2329# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not 2330# tell me when the practice had stopped. 2331# 2332# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of 2333# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went 2334# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz 2335# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the 2336# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on 2337# Aziz: 2338# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493 2339# 2340# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using 2341# Eastern Standard Time. 2342# 2343# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the 2344# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way 2345# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in 2346# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs" 2347# 2348# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008. 2349# 2350# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie.
