Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), 14 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). 15 # 16 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source 17 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport 18 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), 19 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries 20 # of the IATA's data after 1990. 21 # 22 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for 23 # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards. 24 # 25 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, 26 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which 27 # I found in the UCLA library. 28 # 29 # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is 30 # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997). 31 # 32 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT 33 # for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively, 34 # but Mark R V Murray reports that 35 # `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa, 36 # `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and 37 # `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for 38 # the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''. 39 # He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference. 40 # 41 # To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago; 42 # I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00, 43 # and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00. 44 # This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African 45 # mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara. 46 # 47 # To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency: 48 # -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used) 49 # 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time 50 # 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time 51 # 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time 52 # and Murray suggests the following abbreviation: 53 # 1:00 WAT West Africa Time 54 # I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00 55 # for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of 56 # until we get more information. 57 # 58 # I invented the following abbreviations;
