Subject: Errors in Data of Shanks and Elsie about the Argentina Time Zones

Hello...

At first, thank you for your work. It is very important for us, astrologers.

We decided to write you because we made part of an astrological  discussion
group called Ptolomeo. Some people wrote asking about Argentina timezones
few weeks ago and all of the argentine astrologers told that 'Shanks, Elsie
data and other english sources have errors'. So, Dra. Amelia Urbina, member
of the group, has contacted the Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires and she
got the following results. Please see the next images:

>From Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires - Argentina:

If you take a look at your data, Argentina have some DST periods from 1975
to 1987, but according to the Naval Observatory official data (and these
have a total acceptance by the argentine astrologers), there was no time
changes in these years, as shown below:

Elsie data from tzdata2001d.tar.gz (with coincidence to Shanks data and his
International Atlas):

Rule Arg 1974 only - Jan 23 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Arg 1974 only - May  1 0:00 0 -
Rule Arg 1974 1976 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Arg 1975 1977 - Apr Sun>=1 0:00 0 -
Rule Arg 1985 only - Nov  2 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Arg 1986 only - Mar 14 0:00 0 -
Rule Arg 1986 1987 - Oct 25 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Arg 1987 only - Feb 13 0:00 0 -
Rule Arg 1988 only - Feb  7 0:00 0 -
Rule Arg 1988 only - Dec  1 0:00 1:00 S

However, at the Naval Observatory of Buenos Aires report we have for the
same range of time:

It's an official document from Argentina Naval Army, and I am quite totally
sure those data are 100% trustful...

I really hope this info could be useful for your very good job!!

Have a nice day!
