# Zones that go back beyond the scope of the tz database
|
|
|
|
# This file is in the public domain.
|
|
|
|
# This file is by no means authoritative; if you think you know
|
|
# better, go ahead and edit it (and please send any changes to
|
|
# tz@iana.org for general use in the future). For more, please see
|
|
# the file CONTRIBUTING in the tz distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
|
|
|
|
# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
|
|
# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
|
|
# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
|
|
# the file 'backward'.
|
|
|
|
# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
|
|
# pre-1970 timestamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
|
|
# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
|
|
# most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
|
|
# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file. Many of
|
|
# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
|
|
# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
|
|
# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 timestamps.
|
|
|
|
# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
|
|
# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
|
|
|
|
# This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
|
|
# assumes rules from other files. In the tz distribution, use
|
|
# 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone zones' to compile and install this file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2020-04-15):
|
|
# The following remarks should be incorporated into this table sometime.
|
|
# Patches in 'git format-patch' format would be welcome.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
|
|
# ... the historical timezone data for those China zones seems to be
|
|
# incorrect. The transition to GMT+8 date given there for these zones
|
|
# were 1980 which also contradict the file description that they do
|
|
# not disagree with normal zone after 1970. According to sources that
|
|
# have also been cited in the asia file, except Xinjiang and Tibet,
|
|
# they should have adopted the Beijing Time from around 1949/1950
|
|
# depends on exactly when each of those cities were taken over by the
|
|
# communist army. And they should also follow the DST setting of
|
|
# Asia/Shanghai after that point of time. In addition,
|
|
# http://gaz.ncl.edu.tw/detail.jsp?sysid=E1091792 the document from
|
|
# Chongqing Nationalist government say in year 1945 all of China
|
|
# should adopt summer time due to the war (not sure whether it
|
|
# continued after WWII ends)(Probably only enforced in area under
|
|
# their rule at the time?) The Asia/Harbin's 1932 and 1940 entry
|
|
# should also be incorrect. As per sources recorded at
|
|
# https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/%E6%BA%80%E5%B7%9E%E5%9B%BD%E3%81%AE%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E6%99%82
|
|
# , in 1932 Harbin should have adopted UTC+8:00 instead of data
|
|
# currently listed in the tz database according to official
|
|
# announcement from Manchuko. And they should have adopted GMT+9 in
|
|
# 1937 January 1st according to official announcement at the time
|
|
# being cited on the webpage.

# Ethiopia
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
|
|
# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
|
|
# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
|
|
# 02:00 or 14:00. Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
|
|
#
|
|
# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
|
|
# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
|
|
# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05. Perhaps 38E50
|
|
# was for Adis Dera. Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
|
|
# anyway.

# From Paul Eggert (2020-07-23):
|
|
# Most of this data comes from:
|
|
# Stewart A. Why Gulf Standard Time is far from standard: the fascinating story
|
|
# behind the time zone's invention. The National (Abu Dhabi). 2020-07-22.

|
# https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/why-gulf-standard-time-is-far-from-standard-the-fascinating-story-behind-the-time-zone-s-invention-1.1052589
|
|
# Stewart writes that before 1941 some companies in Bahrain were at +0330 and
|
|
# others at +0323. Reginald George Alban, a British political agent based in
|
|
# Manama, worked to standardize this, and from 1941-07-20 Bahrain was at
|
|
# +0330. However, BOAC asked that clocks be moved to gain more light at day's
|
|
# end, so Bahrain switched to +04 on 1944-01-01.
|
|
#
|
|
# Re the 1941 transition, Stewart privately sent me this citation:
|
|
# "File 16/53 Enquiries Re: Calculation of Local Time", British Library: India
|
|
# Office Records and Private Papers, IOR/R/15/2/1564, in Qatar Digital Library
|
|
# https://www.qdl.qa/archive/81055/vdc_100000000282.0x00012b
|
|
# It says there was no real standard in Bahrain before 1941-07-20.
|
|
# +0330 was used by steamers of the British India Co, by Petroleum Concessions
|
|
# and by Cable & Wireless; +0323 was used by the Eastern Bank Ltd, BOAC, and
|
|
# Bahrein Petroleum (Bapco), and California Arabian Standard Oil Co (Casoc)
|
|
# adopted DST effective 1941-05-24. Alban suggested adopting DST, R.B. Coomb
|
|
# of C&W countersuggested +0330, and although C.A. Rodstrom of Casoc (formerly
|
|
# of Bapco) stated that Bahrain had formerly used +0330 before Bapco arrived
|
|
# but Bapco switched to +0323 because of "constant confusion", the consensus
|
|
# was +0330. The government adopted +0330 in 1941-07-20 and companies seem to
|
|
# have switched by 08-01. No time of day was given for the 1940s transitions.

|
|
|
|
# From an adoptive daughter of the late Cambodian ruler Prince Sihanouk,
|
|
# via Alois Treindl (2019-08-08):
|
|
#
|
|
# King Sihanouk said that, during the Japanese occupation, starting with
|
|
# what historians refer to as "le coup de force du 9 mars 1945", Cambodia,
|
|
# like the entire French Indochina, used Tokyo time zone. After Japan
|
|
# surrendered, 2 September 1945, Cambodia fell under French rule again and
|
|
# adopted Hanoi time zone again.
|
|
#
|
|
# However, on 7 January 1946, Sihanouk and Tioulong managed to obtain a
|
|
# status of "internal autonomy" from the government of Charles de Gaulle.
|
|
# Although many fields remained under the administration of the French
|
|
# (customs, taxes, justice, defence, foreign affairs, etc.), the Cambodian
|
|
# administration was responsible for religious matters and traditional
|
|
# celebrations, which included our calendar and time. The time zone was GMT
|
|
# + 7 and _no_ DST was applied.
|
|
#
|
|
# After Sihanouk and Tioulong achieved full independence, on 9 November 1953,
