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# https://web.archive.org/web/20160517155308/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.

Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted 1169# by city vote. 1170# 1171# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks. 1172# 1173# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): 1174# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks 1175# one hour in 1914." This change is not in Shanks. We have no more 1176# info, so omit this for now. 1177# 1178# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06): 1179# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did 1180# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did. 1181# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01. This was big news: 1182# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on 1183# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time" 1184# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's 1185# confirmation to the US Supreme Court. Although Shanks says Detroit 1186# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be 1187# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the 1188# same time as the rest of the US. Also, although Shanks reports no DST in 1189# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968 1190# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969. 1191# 1192# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975. 1193# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER 1194Rule Detroit 1948 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1195Rule Detroit 1948 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1196# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1197Zone America/Detroit -5:32:11 - LMT 1905 1198 -6:00 - CST 1915 May 15 2:00 1199 -5:00 - EST 1942 1200 -5:00 US E%sT 1946 1201 -5:00 Detroit E%sT 1967 Jun 14 0:01 1202 -5:00 US E%sT 1969 1203 -5:00 - EST 1973 1204 -5:00 US E%sT 1975 1205 -5:00 - EST 1975 Apr 27 2:00 1206 -5:00 US E%sT 1207# 1208# Dickinson, Gogebic, Iron, and Menominee Counties, Michigan, 1209# switched from EST to CST/CDT in 1973. 1210# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER 1211Rule Menominee 1946 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1212Rule Menominee 1946 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1213Rule Menominee 1966 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1214Rule Menominee 1966 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1215# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1216Zone America/Menominee -5:50:27 - LMT 1885 Sep 18 12:00 1217 -6:00 US C%sT 1946 1218 -6:00 Menominee C%sT 1969 Apr 27 2:00 1219 -5:00 - EST 1973 Apr 29 2:00 1220 -6:00 US C%sT 1221 1222# Navassa 1223# administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service 1224# claimed by US under the provisions of the 1856 Guano Islands Act 1225# also claimed by Haiti 1226# occupied 1857/1900 by the Navassa Phosphate Co 1227# US lighthouse 1917/1996-09 1228# currently uninhabited 1229# see Mark Fineman, "An Isle Rich in Guano and Discord", 1230# _Los Angeles Times_ (1998-11-10), A1, A10; it cites 1231# Jimmy Skaggs, _The Great Guano Rush_ (1994). 1232 1233################################################################################ 1234 1235 1236# From Paul Eggert (2017-02-10): 1237# 1238# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is: 1239# Thomas G.

Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of 2204# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had 2205# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. 2206# 2207# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay 2208# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... 2209# 2210# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March 2211# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I 2212# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able 2213# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was 2214# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone 2215# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). 2216# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks 2217# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in 2218# so they could follow the correct TV schedule... 2219# 2220# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I 2221# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature 2222# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of 2223# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of 2224# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for 2225# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived 2226# and worked in Resolute Bay... 2227# 2228# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that 2229# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of 2230# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead 2231# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay 2232# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not 2233# tell me when the practice had stopped. 2234# 2235# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of 2236# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went 2237# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz 2238# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the 2239# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on 2240# Aziz: 2241# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493 2242# 2243# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using 2244# Eastern Standard Time. 2245# 2246# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the 2247# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way 2248# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in 2249# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs" 2250# 2251# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008. 2252# 2253# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie.

The 3594# order states that "the standard time to be observed throughout the Turks and 3595# Caicos Islands shall be the same time zone as the Eastern United States of 3596# America" and further clarifies "[f]or the avoidance of doubt" that it 3597# "applies to the Eastern Standard Time as well as any changes thereto for 3598# Daylight Saving Time." However, as clocks in Turks and Caicos approached 3599# 02:00 -04, and thus the declared implementation time, it was still 01:00 EST 3600# (-05), as DST in the Eastern US would not start until an hour later. 3601# 3602# Since it is unlikely that those on the islands switched their clocks twice in 3603# the span of an hour, we assume instead that the adoption of EDT actually took 3604# effect once clocks in the Eastern US had sprung forward, from 03:00 -04. 3605# This discrepancy only affects the time zone abbreviation and DST flag for the 3606# intervening hour, not wall clock times, as -04 was maintained throughout. 3607 3608# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 3609Zone America/Grand_Turk -4:44:32 - LMT 1890 3610 #STDOFF -5:07:10.41 3611 -5:07:10 - KMT 1912 Feb # Kingston Mean Time 3612 -5:00 - EST 1979 3613 -5:00 US E%sT 2015 Mar 8 2:00 3614 -4:00 - AST 2018 Mar 11 3:00 3615 -5:00 US E%sT 3616 3617# Local Variables: 3618# coding: utf-8 3619# End: 3620
