Thanks for catching that problem. In referring to Shanks & Pottenger
(2003) I see that the actual error was worse than that: the last two
columns of those lines were reversed. (It's the sort of mistake that
one might expect of me -- I'm in the wrong hemisphere!)
I'll fix things as follows in my next proposed patch:
Rule Uruguay 1941 only - Aug 1 0:00 0:30 HS
Rule Uruguay 1942 only - Jan 1 0:00 0 -
