140-492: A nationwide standard time. A telegraph cable between New Zealand's two main islands became the instigating factor for the establishment of "New Zealand time". In 1868, the Telegraph Department adopted " Wellington time" as the standard time across all their offices so that opening and closing times could be synchronised. The Post Office, which usually shared the same building, followed suit. However, protests that time

Generally, standard time agrees with the local mean time at some meridian that passes through the region, often near the centre of
490-514: The contiguous United States , based upon Greenwich Mean Time . The General Time Convention (renamed the American Railway Association in 1891), an organization of US railroads charged with coordinating schedules and operating standards, became increasingly concerned that if the US government adopted a standard time scheme it would be disadvantageous to its member railroads. William F. Allen,
525-680: The "Allegheny Time" system, an astronomical timekeeping service which had been developed by Samuel Pierpont Langley at the University of Pittsburgh 's Allegheny Observatory (then known as the Western University of Pennsylvania , located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ). Instituted in 1869, the Allegheny Observatory's service is believed to have been the first regular and systematic system of time distribution to railroads and cities as well as
560-624: The 60th meridian west of Greenwich, instead adopting Eastern Time, so only four time zones were actually adopted by U.S./Canadian railroads in 1883. Major American observatories, including the Allegheny Observatory, the United States Naval Observatory , the Harvard College Observatory , and the Yale University Observatory , agreed to provide telegraphic time signals at noon Eastern Time.

665-615: The Convention secretary, argued that North American railroads should adopt a five-zone standard, similar to the one in use today, to avoid government action. On October 11, 1883, the heads of the major railroads met in Chicago at the Grand Pacific Hotel and agreed to adopt Allen's proposed system. The members agreed that on Sunday, November 18, 1883, all United States and Canadian railroads would readjust their clocks and watches to reflect
700-678: The east of the country, this was a few minutes earlier than in the west. After that, all parts of the country had the same local time—that of the Wester Tower in Amsterdam (Westertoren/4°53'01.95" E). This time was indicated as GMT +0h 19m 32.13s until 17 March 1937, after which it was simplified to GMT+0h20m. This time zone was also known as the Loenen time or Gorinchem time , as this was the exact time in both Loenen and Gorinchem . At noon in Amsterdam, it
735-530: The inseparable correspondence between longitude and time , solidified the concept of halving the globe into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere , with one Prime Meridian replacing the various prime meridians that had previously been used. During the 19th century, scheduled steamships and trains required time standardisation in the industrialized world. A standardised time system

#1732844498535770-470: The liberation of the Netherlands in 1945, Summer time was abolished for over thirty years, so during those years, standard time was 40 minutes ahead of the original Amsterdam Time. As of 2017, the Netherlands is in line with Central European Time (GMT+1 in the winter, GMT+2 in the summer, which is significantly different from Amsterdam Time). In 1868, New Zealand was the first country in the world to establish
805-645: The meridian through Washington, DC for North American railroads. In 1872 he revised his proposal to base it on the Greenwich meridian . Sandford Fleming , a Scottish-born Canadian engineer, proposed worldwide Standard Time at a meeting of the Royal Canadian Institute on February 8, 1879. Cleveland Abbe advocated standard time to better coordinate international weather observations and resultant weather forecasts , which had been coordinated using local solar time . In 1879 he recommended four time zones across
840-620: The meridians anchoring the Atlantic Time Zone and the Greenland Time Zone , voted in 1935 to create a half-hour offset time zone known as the Newfoundland Time Zone , at three and a half hours behind Greenwich time. In the Netherlands, introduction of the railways made it desirable to create a standard time. On 1 May 1909, Amsterdam Time or Dutch Time was introduced. Before that, time was measured in different cities; in
875-534: The new five-zone system on a telegraph signal from the Allegheny Observatory in Pittsburgh at exactly noon on the 90th meridian. Although most railroads adopted the new system as scheduled, some did so early on October 7 and others late on December 2. The Intercolonial Railway serving the Canadian maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia just east of Maine decided not to adopt Intercolonial Time based on
910-627: The origin of the modern standard time system. By 1870 the Allegheny Time service extended over 2,500 miles with 300 telegraph offices receiving time signals. However, almost all railroads out of New York ran on New York time, and railroads west from Chicago mostly used Chicago time, but between Chicago and Pittsburgh/Buffalo the norm was Columbus time, even on railroads such as the PFtW&;C and LS&MS , which did not run through Columbus. The Santa Fe Railroad used Jefferson City (Missouri) time all
945-440: The region. Historically, standard time was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical regions became time zones . The standard time in each time zone has come to be defined as an offset from Universal Time . A further offset is applied for part of the year in regions with daylight saving time . The adoption of standard time, because of
980-672: The role of the Secretary of Commerce (effectively, the National Institute of Standards and Technology ) and the Secretary of the Navy (effectively, the U.S. Naval Observatory ) in interpreting standard time. In 1999, standard time was inducted into the North America Railway Hall of Fame in the category "National: Technical Innovations."

The Northern Pacific Railroad had seven time zones between St. Paul and the 1883 west end of the railroad at Wallula Jct ; the Union Pacific Railway was at the other extreme, with only two time zones between Omaha and Ogden. In 1870, Charles F. Dowd proposed four time zones based on

1120-586: Was 11:40 in London and 12:40 in Berlin . The shift to the current Central European Time zone took place on 16 May 1940. The German occupiers ordered the clock to be moved an hour and forty minutes forward. This time was kept in summer and winter throughout 1941 and 1942. It was only in November 1942 that a different Winter time was introduced, and the time was adjusted one hour backwards. This lasted for only three years; after
1155-504: Was being dictated by one government department, led to a resolution in parliament to establish a standard time for the whole country. The director of the Geological Survey, James Hector , selected New Zealand time to be at the meridian 172°30′E. This was very close to the country's mean longitude and exactly 11 + 1 ⁄ 2 hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time. It came into effect on 2 November 1868. For over fifty years,
1190-477: Was first used by British railways on 1 December 1847, when they switched from local mean time, which varied from place to place, to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It was also given the name railway time , reflecting the important role the railway companies played in bringing it about. The vast majority of Great Britain's public clocks were standardised to GMT by 1855. Until 1883, each United States railroad chose its own time standards. The Pennsylvania Railroad used
1225-427: Was not enacted into US law until the 1918 Standard Time Act established standard time in time zones; the law also instituted daylight saving time (DST). The daylight saving time portion of the law was repealed in 1919 over a presidential veto, but was re-established nationally during World War II. In 2007 the US enacted a federal law formalising the use of Coordinated Universal Time as the basis of standard time, and
