|
|
# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
|
|
#
|
|
# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
|
|
# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
|
|
#
|
|
# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
|
|
# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
|
|
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
|
|
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
|
|
# of the IATA's data after 1990.
|
|
#
|
|
# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
|
|
# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
|
|
#
|
|
# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
|
|
# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
|
|
# I found in the UCLA library.
|
|
#
|
|
# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
|
|
# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude,
|
|
# Oxford University Press (1980).
|
|
#
|

# I invented the abbreviations marked `*' in the following table;

# but usno1995 has Armenia at 4:00 (with DST), and Edgar Der-Danieliantz
|
|
# <edd@AIC.NET> reported today that Yerevan probably won't use DST this year,
|
|
# though it did use DST in 1995. We guess Yerevan stayed in sync with Moscow

# between 1990 and 1995, but stopped using DST in 1996.

# From Guy Harris:

# People's Republic of China. Yes, they really have only one time zone.
|
|
|
|
# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
|
|
# No they don't. See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52. Even though
|
|
# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
|
|
# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
|
|
# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
|
|
# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
|
|
#
|
|
# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
|
|
# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
|
|
# DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):

|
#
|

# 1986 May 4 - Sept 14

|
# 1987 mid-April - ??

|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
|
|
# Shanks writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
|
|
# observing summer DST from 1986 through 1991; this contradicts Devine's
|
|
# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.

# Go with Shanks for now. I made up names for the other pre-1980 time zones.

# Today's _Economist_ (p 60) reports that Georgia moved its clocks forward

# an MP who went on a hunger strike for 11 days to force discussion about it!
|

# We have no details, but we'll guess they didn't move the clocks back in fall.

# (1997-03-04 and 1997-12-31):
|
|
|
|
# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
|
|
# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
|
|
# Each year they decide anew what havoc to wreak on the country. However,
|
|
# there is a "supposed" set of rules which is subject to change depending
|
|
# on the party the Minister of Interior, the size of the coalition
|
|
# government, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. Hence,
|
|
# changes may need to be made on a semi-annual basis. One thing is entrenched
|
|
# in law, however: that there must be at least 150 days of daylight savings
|
|
# time annually. Ever since 1993, the change to daylight savings time is
|
|
# on a Thursday night from midnight IST to 1 a.m IDT. The change back to
|
|
# standard time is on a Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time
|
|
# to 11 p.m. standard time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the
|
|
# change back to standard time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday
|
|
# night to avoid conflicts with the Jewish New Year.

# Palestine
|
|
|
|
# From Amos Shapir <amos@nsof.co.il> (1998-02-15):
|
|
#
|
|
# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
|
|
# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
|
|
# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
|
|
#
|
|
# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
|
|
# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
|
|
# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
|
|
# though.
|
|
#
|
|
# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
|
|
# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
|
|
# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
|
|
# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
|
|
# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
|
|
# East Jerusalem.
|
|
#
|
|
# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
|
|
# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
|
|
# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
|
|
# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
|
|
# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
|
|
#
|
|
# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
|
|
# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
|
|
# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
|
|
# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
|
|
# know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
|
|
# Jordanian one).
|
|
#
|
|
# To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
|
|
#
|
|
# Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
|
|
# ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
|
|
# Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion
|
|
# West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan
|
|
# Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan
|
|
#
|
|
# I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
|
|
# have one).
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1998-02-25):
|
|
# Shanks writes that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but we'll go
|
|
# with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
|
|
# and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
|
|
# We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
|
|
# the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
|
|
# occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
|
|
# However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
|
|
# for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
|
|
# to Palestine's rules. If you have more info about this, please
|
|
# send it to tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for incorporation into future editions.
|
