c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# of the IATA's data after 1990.
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# in Europe and South America.

c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06):

c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasilia time" is considered the
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city.
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such

c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# the start. The government had decreed that the measure would take
c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin

c1350cf5bc50458ba79cc93ff9e0e5fe3f1aeeb0jeff.schenk# contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday
