Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." An AltaVista
search turned up
http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
by way of confirmation.
The "northamerica" time zone file already has information about Eastern War
Time during World War II...
Rule US 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00
W # War
Rule US 1945 only - Sep 30 2:00 0
S
...and presumably what's needed is a line between these two such as...
Rule US 1945 only - Sep 2 h:mmu 1:00
P # Peace
...where h:mm is the time that the document ending the war was signed.
And so, two questions:
1. What are the correct values for h and mm above?
2. Was that indeed the instant when the switch from War Time to Peace
Time occurred?
Thanks in advance for any light that folks can shed!
