Imagine yourself back in 1966. UTC has been chugging along nicely for five years, providing a well-behaved predictable time standard. We know it's never going to change.
This is a polyanna view of history which bursts upon looking at issues of Bulletin Horaire and seeing what was actually being broadcast by various transmitters. There was not uniformity in broadcasting what the BIH had designated "UTC" until 1972. -- Steve Allen <sla@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB 260 Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 https://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
