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

# 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 (2016-09-21):

# 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 at 12:00.

# That Sunday was called the "day of two noons", as the eastern parts

# of the new zones 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.

# http://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.

#

#	 -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks,

#	   Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday

#

# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see

# 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 Arthur David Olson:

# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.

# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26

# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.

# 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:

# 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 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.

# Although the 1918 names were officially "United States Standard

# 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

# Roberts, city administrator in Phenix City. as saying "We are in the Central

# time zone, but we do go by the Eastern time zone because so many people work

# in Columbus."

#

# 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

# because West Point Pepperell textile mills were in Alabama while the

# From Paul Eggert (2016-08-20):

# In early February 1948, in response to California's electricity shortage,

# PG&E changed power frequency from 60 to 59.5 Hz during daylight hours,

# causing electric clocks to lose six minutes per day.  (This did not change

# legal time, and is not part of the data here.)  See:

# Ross SA. An energy crisis from the past: Northern California in 1948.

# Working Paper No. 8, Institute of Governmental Studies, UC Berkeley,

# 1973-11.  http://escholarship.org/uc/item/8x22k30c

#

# In another measure to save electricity, DST was instituted from 1948-03-14

# at 02:01 to 1949-01-16 at 02:00, with the governor having the option to move

# the fallback transition earlier.  See pages 3-4 of:

# http://clerk.assembly.ca.gov/sites/clerk.assembly.ca.gov/files/archive/Statutes/1948/48Vol1_Chapters.pdf

#

# In response:

#

#   Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much

#   to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important

#   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.

#     -- Ross, p 25

#

# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1

# (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).

#

# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,

# which established DST from April's last Sunday at 01:00 until September's

# last Sunday at 02:00. This was amended by 1962's Proposition 6, which changed

# the fall-back date to October's last Sunday. See:
