# Britain (United Kingdom) and Ireland (Eire)
|
|
|
|
# From Peter Ilieve <peter@memex.co.uk> (1994-07-06):
|
|
#
|
|
# On 17 Jan 1994 the Independent, a UK quality newspaper, had a piece about
|
|
# historical vistas along the Thames in west London. There was a photo
|
|
# and a sketch map showing some of the sightlines involved. One paragraph
|
|
# of the text said:
|
|
#
|
|
# `An old stone obelisk marking a forgotten terrestrial meridian stands
|
|
# beside the river at Kew. In the 18th century, before time and longitude
|
|
# was standardised by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, scholars observed
|
|
# this stone and the movement of stars from Kew Observatory nearby. They
|
|
# made their calculations and set the time for the Horse Guards and Parliament,
|
|
# but now the stone is obscured by scrubwood and can only be seen by walking
|
|
# along the towpath within a few yards of it.'
|
|
#
|
|
# I have a one inch to one mile map of London and my estimate of the stone's
|
|
# position is 51 deg. 28' 30" N, 0 deg. 18' 45" W. The longitude should
|
|
# be within about +-2". The Ordnance Survey grid reference is TQ172761.
|
|
#
|
|
# [This yields GMTOFF = -0:01:15 for London LMT in the 18th century.]
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1993-11-18):
|
|
#
|
|
# Howse writes that Britain was the first country to use standard time.
|
|
# The railways cared most about the inconsistencies of local mean time,
|
|
# and it was they who forced a uniform time on the country.
|
|
# The original idea was credited to Dr. William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828)
|
|
# and was popularized by Abraham Follett Osler (1808-1903).
|
|
# The first railway to adopt London time was the Great Western Railway
|
|
# in November 1840; other railways followed suit, and by 1847 most
|
|
# (though not all) railways used London time. On 1847-09-22 the
|
|
# Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that GMT be
|
|
# adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it.
|
|
# The transition occurred on 12-01 for the L&NW, the Caledonian,
|
|
# and presumably other railways; the January 1848 Bradshaw's lists many
|
|
# railways as using GMT. By 1855 the vast majority of public
|
|
# clocks in Britain were set to GMT (though some, like the great clock
|
|
# on Tom Tower at Christ Church, Oxford, were fitted with two minute hands,
|
|
# one for local time and one for GMT). The last major holdout was the legal
|
|
# system, which stubbornly stuck to local time for many years, leading
|
|
# to oddities like polls opening at 08:13 and closing at 16:13.
|
|
# The legal system finally switched to GMT when the Statutes (Definition
|
|
# of Time) Act took effect; it received the Royal Assent on 1880-08-02.
|
|
#
|
|
# In the tables below, we condense this complicated story into a single
|
|
# transition date for London, namely 1847-12-01. We don't know as much
|
|
# about Dublin, so we use 1880-08-02, the legal transition time.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1999-01-30):
|
|
# Summer Time was first seriously proposed by William Willett (1857-1915),
|
|
# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society
|
|
# who circulated a pamphlet ``The Waste of Daylight'' (1907)
|
|
# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April,
|
|
# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September.
|
|
# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times,
|
|
# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests.
|
|
# One-hour Summer Time was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916.

|
|
# A monument was erected in 1927 to Willett, in an open space in a 45-acre wood
|
|
# near Chiselhurst, Kent that was purchased by popular subscription and open
|
|
# to the public.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
|
|
# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said ``Daylight Saving''
|
|
# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this
|
|
# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the
|
|
# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using ``Summer''.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson (1989-01-19):
|
|
#
|
|
# A source at the British Information Office in New York avers that it's
|
|
# known as "British" Summer Time in all parts of the United Kingdom.

|
# From: Jonathan Leffler <nih-csl!uunet!mcvax!sphinx.co.uk!john>
|
|
# [British Summer Time] is fixed annually by Act of Parliament.
|
|
# If you can predict what Parliament will do, you should be in
|
|
# politics making a fortune, not computing.
|
|
|
|
# From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-06-14):
|
|
# I remember reading in various wartime issues of the London Times the
|
|
# acronym BDST for British Double Summer Time. Look for the published
|
|
# time of sunrise and sunset in The Times, when BDST was in effect, and
|
|
# if you find a zone reference it will say, "All times B.D.S.T."
|
|
|
|
# From Joseph S. Myers (1999-09-02):
|
|
# ... some military cables (WO 219/4100 - this is a copy from the
|
|
# main SHAEF archives held in the US National Archives, SHAEF/5252/8/516)
|
|
# agree that the usage is BDST (this appears in a message dated 17 Feb 1945).
|
|
|
|
# From Joseph S. Myers (2000-10-03):
|
|
# On 18th April 1941, Sir Stephen Tallents of the BBC wrote to Sir
|
|
# Alexander Maxwell of the Home Office asking whether there was any
|
|
# official designation; the reply of the 21st was that there wasn't
|
|
# but he couldn't think of anything better than the "Double British

# Summer Time" that the BBC had been using informally.

# From Sir Alexander Maxwell in the above-mentioned letter (1941-04-21):
|
|
# [N]o official designation has as far as I know been adopted for the time
|
|
# which is to be introduced in May....
|
|
# I cannot think of anything better than "Double British Summer Time"
|
|
# which could not be said to run counter to any official description.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
|
|
# Howse writes (p 157) `DBST' too, but `BDST' seems to have been common
|
|
# and follows the more usual convention of putting the location name first,
|
|
# so we use `BDST'.
|
|
|
|
# Peter Ilieve <peter@aldie.co.uk> (1998-04-19) described at length
|
|
# the history of summer time legislation in the United Kingdom.
|
|
# Since 1998 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk> has been updating

|
|
# From Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk> (1998-01-06):
|
|
#
|
|
# The legal time in the UK outside of summer time is definitely GMT, not UTC;

# see Lord Tanlaw's speech

|
# <a href="http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/ld199697/ldhansrd/pdvn/lds97/text/70611-20.htm#70611-20_head0">
|
|
# (Lords Hansard 11 June 1997 columns 964 to 976)
|

# </a>.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2000-02-17):
|
|
#
|
|
# For lack of other data, we'll follow Shanks for Eire in 1940-1948.
|
|
#
|
|
# Given Ilieve and Myers's data, the following claims by Shanks are incorrect:
|
|
# * Wales did not switch from GMT to daylight saving time until
|
|
# 1921 Apr 3, when they began to conform with the rest of Great Britain.
|
|
# Actually, Wales was identical after 1880.
|
|
# * Eire had two transitions on 1916 Oct 1.
|
|
# It actually just had one transition.
|
|
# * Northern Ireland used single daylight saving time throughout WW II.
|
|
# Actually, it conformed to Britain.
|
|
# * GB-Eire changed standard time to 1 hour ahead of GMT on 1968-02-18.
|
|
# Actually, that date saw the usual switch to summer time.
|
|
# Standard time was not changed until 1968-10-27 (the clocks didn't change).
|
|
#
|
|
# Here is another incorrect claim by Shanks:
|
|
# * Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man did not switch from GMT
|
|
# to daylight saving time until 1921 Apr 3, when they began to
|
|
# conform with Great Britain.
|
|
# S.R.&O. 1916, No. 382 and HO 45/10811/312364 (quoted above) say otherwise.
|
|
#
|
|
# The following claim by Shanks is possible though doubtful;
|
|
# we'll ignore it for now.
|
|
# * Dublin's 1971-10-31 switch was at 02:00, even though London's was 03:00.
|
|
#
|
|
#
|
|
# Whitman says Dublin Mean Time was -0:25:21, which is more precise than Shanks.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-28):
|
|
# Clive Feather (<news:859845706.26043.0@office.demon.net>, 1997-03-31)
|
|
# reports that Folkestone (Cheriton) Shuttle Terminal uses Concession Time
|
|
# (CT), equivalent to French civil time.
|
|
# Julian Hill (<news:36118128.5A14@virgin.net>, 1998-09-30) reports that
|
|
# trains between Dollands Moor (the freight facility next door)
|
|
# and Frethun run in CT.
|
|
# My admittedly uninformed guess is that the terminal has two authorities,
|
|
# the French concession operators and the British civil authorities,
|
|
# and that the time depends on who you're talking to.
|
|
# If, say, the British police were called to the station for some reason,
|
|
# I would expect the official police report to use GMT/BST and not CET/CEST.
|
|
# This is a borderline case, but for now let's stick to GMT/BST.
|
|
|
|
# From an anonymous contributor (1996-06-02):
|
|
# The law governing time in Ireland is under Statutory Instrument SI 395/94,
|
|
# which gives force to European Union 7th Council Directive # 94/21/EC.
|
|
# Under this directive, the Minister for Justice in Ireland makes appropriate
|
|
# regulations. I spoke this morning with the Secretary of the Department of
|
|
# Justice (tel +353 1 678 9711) who confirmed to me that the correct name is

#
|

# [IATA SSIM (1992/1996) claims that the Baltic republics switch at 01:00s,

# Iceland
|
|
#
|
|
# From Adam David <adam@veda.is> (1993-11-06):
|
|
# The name of the timezone in Iceland for system / mail / news purposes is GMT.
|
|
#
|
|
# (1993-12-05):
|
|
# This material is paraphrased from the 1988 edition of the University of
|
|
# Iceland Almanak.
|
|
#
|
|
# From January 1st, 1908 the whole of Iceland was standardised at 1 hour
|
|
# behind GMT. Previously, local mean solar time was used in different parts
|
|
# of Iceland, the almanak had been based on Reykjavik mean solar time which
|
|
# was 1 hour and 28 minutes behind GMT.
|
|
#
|
|
# "first day of winter" referred to [below] means the first day of the 26 weeks
|
|
# of winter, according to the old icelandic calendar that dates back to the
|
|
# time the norsemen first settled Iceland. The first day of winter is always
|
|
# Saturday, but is not dependent on the Julian or Gregorian calendars.
|
|
#
|
|
# (1993-12-10):
|
|
# I have a reference from the Oxford Icelandic-English dictionary for the
|
|
# beginning of winter, which ties it to the ecclesiastical calendar (and thus
|
|
# to the julian/gregorian calendar) over the period in question.
|
|
# the winter begins on the Saturday next before St. Luke's day
|
|
# (old style), or on St. Luke's day, if a Saturday.
|
|
# St. Luke's day ought to be traceable from ecclesiastical sources. "old style"
|
|
# might be a reference to the Julian calendar as opposed to Gregorian, or it
|
|
# might mean something else (???).
|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1999-10-29):
|
|
# The Iceland Almanak, Shanks and Whitman disagree on many points.
|
|
# We go with the Almanak, except for one claim from Shanks, namely that
|
|
# Reykavik was 21W57 from 1837 to 1908, local mean time before that.

# Moldova
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-02-11):
|
|
# A previous version of this database followed Shanks, who writes that
|
|
# Tiraspol switched to Moscow time on 1992-01-19 at 02:00.
|
|
# However, this is most likely an error, as Moldova declared independence
|
|
# on 1991-08-27 (the 1992-01-19 date is that of a Russian decree).
|
|
# In early 1992 there was large-scale interethnic violence in the area
|
|
# and it's possible that some Russophones continued to observe Moscow time.
|
|
# But moldavizolit@tirastel.md and mk@tirastel.md separately reported via
|
|
# Jesper Norgaard that as of 2001-01-24 Tiraspol was like Chisinau.
|
|
# The Tiraspol entry has therefore been removed for now.

|
# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1999-11-12):
|
|
# Except for Moscow after 1919-07-01, I invented the time zone abbreviations.
|
|
# Moscow time zone abbreviations after 1919-07-01, and Moscow rules after 1991,
|
|
# are from Andrey A. Chernov. The rest is from Shanks, except we follow
|
|
# Chernov's report that 1992 DST transitions were Sat 23:00, not Sun 02:00s.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Andrey A. Chernov <ache@nagual.ru> (1996-10-04):
|
|
# `MSK' and `MSD' were born and used initially on Moscow computers with
|
|
# Unix-like OSes by several developer groups (e.g. Demos group, Kiae group)....
|
|
# The next step was the UUCP network, the Relcom predecessor
|
|
# (used mainly for mail), and MSK/MSD was actively used there.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-10-30):
|
|
# According to a friend of mine who rode the Trans-Siberian Railroad from
|
|
# Moscow to Irkutsk in 1995, public air and rail transport in Russia ...
|
|
# still follows Moscow time, no matter where in Russia it is located.
|
|
#
|
|
# For Grozny, Chechnya, we have the following story from
|
|
# John Daniszewski, "Scavengers in the Rubble", Los Angeles Times (2001-02-07):
|
|
# News--often false--is spread by word of mouth. A rumor that it was
|
|
# time to move the clocks back put this whole city out of sync with
|
|
# the rest of Russia for two weeks--even soldiers stationed here began
|
|
# enforcing curfew at the wrong time.

# ...the European time rules are...standardized since 1981, when
|
|
# most European coun[tr]ies started DST. Before that year, only
|
|
# a few countries (UK, France, Italy) had DST, each according
|
|
# to own national rules. In 1981, however, DST started on
|
|
# 'Apr firstSun', and not on 'Mar lastSun' as in the following
|
|
# years...
|
|
# But also since 1981 there are some more national exceptions
|
|
# than listed in 'europe': Switzerland, for example, joined DST
|
|
# one year later, Denmark ended DST on 'Oct 1' instead of 'Sep
|
|
# lastSun' in 1981---I don't know how they handle now.
|
|
#
|

# Finally, DST ist always from 'Apr 1' to 'Oct 1' in the

# The information from Tom Hofmann is (as far as I know) not entirely correct.
|
|
# After a request from chongo at amdahl I tried to retrieve all information
|
|
# about DST in Europe. I was able to find all from about 1969.
|
|
#
|
|
# ...standardization on DST in Europe started in about 1977 with switches on
|
|
# first Sunday in April and last Sunday in September...
|
|
# In 1981 UK joined Europe insofar that
|
|
# the starting day for both shifted to last Sunday in March. And from 1982
|
|
# the whole of Europe used DST, with switch dates April 1 and October 1 in
|
|
# the Sov[i]et Union. In 1985 the SU reverted to standard Europe[a]n switch
|
|
# dates...
|
|
#
|
|
# It should also be remembered that time-zones are not constants; e.g.
|
|
# Portugal switched in 1976 from MET (or CET) to WET with DST...
|
|
# Note also that though there were rules for switch dates not
|
|
# all countries abided to these dates, and many individual deviations
|
|
# occurred, though not since 1982 I believe. Another note: it is always
|
|
# assumed that DST is 1 hour ahead of normal time, this need not be the
|
|
# case; at least in the Netherlands there have been times when DST was 2 hours
|
|
# in advance of normal time.
