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 (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 (2003-09-27): -# 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. -# Later editions of the pamphlet proposed one-hour summer time, and -# it was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916. -# See: Summer Time Arrives Early, The Times (2000-05-18). -# A monument to Willett was unveiled on 1927-05-21, in an open space in -# a 45-acre wood near Chislehurst, Kent that was purchased by popular -# subscription and open to the public. On the south face of the monolith, -# designed by G. W. Miller, is the the William Willett Memorial Sundial, -# which is permanently set to Summer Time. - -# From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28): -# It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of -# summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country -# between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which -# plunged Europe into darkness for four years, and shook the -# foundations of civilization throughout the world. -# -- <a href="http://www.winstonchurchill.org/fh114willett.htm"> -# "A Silent Toast to William Willett", Pictorial Weekly -# </a> - -# 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. - -# Date: 4 Jan 89 08:57:25 GMT (Wed) -# From: Jonathan Leffler -# [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 (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. -# http://student.cusu.cam.ac.uk/~jsm28/british-time/bbc-19410418.png -# http://student.cusu.cam.ac.uk/~jsm28/british-time/ho-19410421.png - -# 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 (1998-04-19) described at length -# the history of summer time legislation in the United Kingdom. -# Since 1998 Joseph S.

Svalbard was declared -# as a part of Norway by law of 1925-07-17 no 11, section 4 and Jan -# Mayen by law of 1930-02-27 no 2, section 2. (From -# http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19250717-011.html and -# http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19300227-002.html). The law/regulation -# for normal/standard time in Norway is from 1894-06-29 no 1 (came -# into operation on 1895-01-01) and Svalbard/Jan Mayen seem to be a -# part of this law since 1925/1930. (From -# http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-18940629-001.html ) I have not been -# able to find if Jan Mayen used a different time zone (e.g. -0100) -# before 1930. Jan Mayen has only been "inhabitated" since 1921 by -# Norwegian meteorologists and maybe used the same time as Norway ever -# since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since -# before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere -# between 1895 and 1925 (inclusive). - -# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-01): -# -# Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II, -# so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Oslo was -# keeping Berlin time. -# -# <http://home.no.net/janmayen/history.htm> says that the meteorologists -# burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in -# 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite -# frequent air ttacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a -# radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly -# the UTC offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that -# Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules. -# -# Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an -# Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says -# <http://www.bartleby.com/65/sv/Svalbard.html>). The Svalbard FAQ -# <http://www.svalbard.com/SvalbardFAQ.html> says that the Germans were -# expelled on 1942-05-14.
