In the Argentina timezone rules I find a strange fact:
continuous DST from Oct 1946 to Oct 1963.

The rules are:
Rule    Arg     1946    only    -       Mar      1      0:00    0      -
Rule    Arg     1946    only    -       Oct      1      0:00    1:00   S
Rule    Arg     1963    only    -       Oct      1      0:00    0      -
Rule    Arg     1963    only    -       Dec     15      0:00    1:00   S

There are no other rules affecting the years 1946 or 1963 or any year in 
between. This means that Argentina was continuously on DST.

Is this really correct, and what are the sources for that?
