Van Gent cites many sources for Amsterdam time (mostly in Dutch) here:

https://webspace.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/wettijd/wt_text6b.htm

Many of his sources are contemporaneous. It's an impressive list.

Although it's not clear whether the ".32.13" is van Gent's calculation 
or is copied verbatim from one of those sources, it's surely close to 
the correct value insofar as that can be determined.
