 # From Phake Nick (2018-10-27):  # From Arthur David Olson (2009-10-28):
 # According to Singaporean newspaper  
 # http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/singfreepresswk19041102-1.2.37  
 # the day that Hong Kong start using GMT+8 should be Oct 30, 1904.  
 #  
 # From Paul Eggert (2018-11-17):  
 # Hong Kong had a time ball near the Marine Police Station, Tsim Sha Tsui.  
 # "The ball was raised manually each day and dropped at exactly 1pm  
 # (except on Sundays and Government holidays)."  
 # Dyson AD. From Time Ball to Atomic Clock. Hong Kong Government. 1983.  
 # <https://www.hko.gov.hk/publica/gen_pub/timeball_atomic_clock.pdf>  
 # "From 1904 October 30 the time-ball at Hong Kong has been dropped by order  
 # of the Governor of the Colony at 17h 0m 0s G.M.T., which is 23m 18s.14 in

 #  
 # From Joseph Myers (2018-11-18):  
 # An astronomer before 1925 referring to GMT would have been using the old  
 # astronomical convention where the day started at noon, not midnight.  
 #  
 # From Steve Allen (2018-11-17):  
 # Meteorological Observations made at the Hongkong Observatory in the year 1904  
 # page 4 <https://books.google.com/books?id=kgw5AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA4-PA4>  
 # ... the log of drop times in Table II shows that on Sunday 1904-10-30 the  
 # ball was dropped.  So that looks like a special case drop for the sake  
 # of broadcasting the new local time.  
 #  
 # From Phake Nick (2018-11-18):  
 # According to The Hong Kong Weekly Press, 1904-10-29, p.324, the  
 # governor of Hong Kong at the time stated that "We are further desired to  
 # make it known that the change will be effected by firing the gun and by the  
 # dropping of the Ball at 23min. 18sec. before one."  
 # From Paul Eggert (2018-11-18):  
 # See <https://mmis.hkpl.gov.hk> for this; unfortunately Flash is required.  
   
 # From Phake Nick (2018-10-26):  
 # I went to check microfilm records stored at Hong Kong Public Library....  
 # on September 30 1941, according to Ta Kung Pao (Hong Kong edition), it was  
 # stated that fallback would occur on the next day (the 1st)'s "03:00 am (Hong  
 # Kong Time 04:00 am)" and the clock will fall back for a half hour. (03:00  
 # probably refer to the time commonly used in mainland China at the time given  
 # the paper's background) ... the sunrise/sunset time given by South China  
 # Morning Post for October 1st was indeed moved by half an hour compares to  
 # before.  After that, in December, the battle to capture Hong Kong started and  
 # the library doesn't seems to have any record stored about press during that  
 # period of time.  Some media resumed publication soon after that within the  
 # same month, but there were not much information about time there.  Later they  
 # started including a radio program guide when they restored radio service,  
 # explicitly mentioning it use Tokyo standard time, and later added a note  
 # saying it's half an hour ahead of the old Hong Kong standard time, and it  
 # also seems to indicate that Hong Kong was not using GMT+8 when it was  
 # captured by Japan.

 # east of Greenwich should be adopted in these territories.  No reason is

 # This instruction is equivalent to "Sat>=8 25:00", so use that.  zic treats  
 # it like "Sun>=9 01:00", which is not quite the same but is the best we can  
 # do in any POSIX or C platform.  The "25:00" assumes zic from 2007 or later,  
 # which should be safe now.

 # From Paul Eggert (2018-06-19):  
 # I surveyed recent news reports, and my impression is that "PST" is  
 # more popular among reliable English-language news sources.  This is  
 # not just a measure of Google hit counts: it's also the sizes and  
 # influence of the sources.  There is no current abbreviation for DST,  
 # so use "PDT", the usual American style.

 # Timekeeping differed depending on who you were and which part of Saudi  
 # Arabia you were in.  In 1969, Elias Antar wrote that although a common  
 # practice had been to set one's watch to 12:00 (i.e., midnight) at sunset -  
 # which meant that the time on one side of a mountain could differ greatly from  
 # the time on the other side - many foreigners set their watches to 6pm  
 # instead, while airlines instead used UTC +03 (except in Dhahran, where they  
 # used UTC +04), Aramco used UTC +03 with DST, and the Trans-Arabian Pipe Line  
 # Company used Aramco time in eastern Saudi Arabia and airline time in western.  
 # (The American Military Aid Advisory Group used plain UTC.)  Antar writes,  
 # "A man named Higgins, so the story goes, used to run a local power  
 # station. One day, the whole thing became too much for Higgins and he  
 # assembled his staff and laid down the law. 'I've had enough of this,' he  
 # shrieked. 'It is now 12 o'clock Higgins Time, and from now on this station is  
 # going to run on Higgins Time.' And so, until last year, it did."  See:
