###############################################################################

# United States

# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):

# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by

# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),

# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).

# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)

# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines

# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,

# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.

# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):

# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw

# lines between time zones.  The key individual who made time zones

# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer,

# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the

# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group.  Allen

# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,

# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it

# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan

# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for

# railway scheduling.  By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all

# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18.  That Sunday

# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon

# twice.  Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:

#

#   I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time.  Four

#   minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval

#   Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes

#   of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was

#   abandoned, probably forever.

#

# Most of the US soon followed suit.  See:

# Bartky IR. The adoption of standard time. Technol Cult 1989 Jan;30(1):25-56.

# https://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3105430

# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):

# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.

# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).

# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):

# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is

# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),

# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).

# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.

# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.

# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):

# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin

# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost

# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).

# Not everyone is happy with the results:

#

#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some

#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving

#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.

#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something

#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer

#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to

#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving

#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager

#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make

#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

#

#	   Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday

# Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint

# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927).

# http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html

#

# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.

# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which

# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently

# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".

# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04):

# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules.

# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving

#   time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last

#   Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday.

#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf

# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday.

#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf

# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09.

#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf

# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30.

#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf

# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST,

#   from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967.

#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf

# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06.

#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf

# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to

#   February's last Sunday.

#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf

# * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first

#   Sunday.

#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-100/pdf/STATUTE-100-Pg764.pdf

# * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward

# All transitions are at 02:00 local time.

# From Arthur David Olson:

# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of

# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.

# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):

# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.

# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."

# An AltaVista search turned up:

# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html

# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace

# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."

# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.

#

# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):

# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.

# From Joseph Gallant citing

# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):

# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set

# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people

# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,

# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,

# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word

# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in

# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.

# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From

# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:

#

# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.

# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a

# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.

# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out

# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental

# importance."

#

# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open

# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,

# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.

# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."

#

# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.

# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):

# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations

# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of

# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed

# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

#   (a) Amendment.--Section 3(a) of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15

#   U.S.C. 260a(a)) is amended--

#     (1) by striking "first Sunday of April" and inserting "second

#   date of enactment of this Act or March 1, 2007, whichever is later.

#   (c) Report to Congress.--Not later than 9 months after the effective

#   date stated in subsection (b), the Secretary shall report to Congress

#   on the impact of this section on energy consumption in the United

#   States.

#   (d) Right to Revert.--Congress retains the right to revert the

#   Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedules once the

#   Department study is complete.

# Early this summer I had the occasion to visit the Mount Washington

# From Paul Eggert (2005-08-26):

# According to today's Huntsville Times

# http://www.al.com/news/huntsvilletimes/index.ssf?/base/news/1125047783228320.xml&coll=1

# a few towns on Alabama's "eastern border with Georgia, such as Phenix City

#

# From Paul Eggert (2017-02-22):

# Four cities are involved.  The two not mentioned above are Smiths Station

# and Valley.  Barbara Brooks, Valley's assistant treasurer, heard it started

# which then sent signals to police and fire stations.  However, railroads got

# Fort Pierre is technically located in the Mountain time zone as is

# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-06):

# In 1950s Nashville a public clock had dueling faces, one for conservatives

# and the other for liberals; the two sides didn't agree about the time of day.

# I haven't found a photo of this clock, nor have I tracked down the TIME

# magazine report cited below, but here's the story as told by the late

# American journalist John Seigenthaler, who was there:

#

# "The two [newspaper] owners held strongly contrasting political and

# ideological views.  Evans was a New South liberal, Stahlman an Old South

# conservative, and their two papers frequently clashed editorially, often on

# the same day....  In the 1950s as the state legislature was grappling with

# the question of whether to approve daylight saving time for the entire state,

# TIME magazine reported:

#

# "'The Nashville Banner and The Nashville Tennessean rarely agree on anything

# but the time of day - and last week they couldn't agree on that.'

#

# "It was all too true. The clock on the front of the building had two faces -

# The Tennessean side of the building facing west, the other, east.  When it

# was high noon Banner time, it was 11 a.m. Tennessean time."

#

# Seigenthaler J. For 100 years, Tennessean had it covered.

# Morton County, ND, switched from mountain to central time on

# 2003-10-26, except for the area around Mandan which was already central time.

# See <http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/p63/135818.pdf>.

# Officially this switch also included part of Sioux County, and

# Jones, Mellette, and Todd Counties in South Dakota;

# but in practice these other counties were already observing central time.

# mountain time zone to the central time zone at the last transition from

# daylight-saving to standard time (on Nov. 7, 2010):

# From Andy Lipscomb (2011-01-24):

# ...according to the Census Bureau, the largest city is Beulah (although

# it's commonly referred to as Beulah-Hazen, with Hazen being the next

# largest city in Mercer County).  Google Maps places Beulah's city hall

# at 47° 15' 51" N, 101° 46' 40" W, which yields an offset of 6h47'07".
