Regarding that page you might want to add a note about the 1972 change to UTC in the time signals from the RGO. They still referred to their official time scale after this change as GMT. So it is wrong to say that GMT does not now and has never had leap seconds. http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/deptserv/manuscripts/RGO_history/rgo_home_ch5.html Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <dot@dotat.at> http://dotat.at/ Shannon: Cyclonic 4 or 5, increasing 6 at times.
