2790 # From Paul Eggert (2014-10-04):
2791 # Milne gives 7:16:56 for the meridian of Saigon in 1899, as being
2792 # used in Lower Laos, Cambodia, and Annam. But this is quite a ways
2793 # from Saigon's location. For now, ignore this and stick with Shanks
2794 # and Pottenger for LMT before 1906.
2795
2796 # From Arthur David Olson (2008-03-18):
2797 # The English-language name of Vietnam's most populous city is "Ho Chi Minh
2798 # City"; use Ho_Chi_Minh below to avoid a name of more than 14 characters.
2799
2800 # From Paul Eggert (2014-10-21) after a heads-up from Trần Ngọc Quân:
2801 # Trần Tiến Bình's authoritative book "Lịch Việt Nam: thế kỷ XX-XXI (1901-2100)"
2802 # (Nhà xuất bản Văn Hoá - Thông Tin, Hanoi, 2005), pp 49-50,
2803 # is quoted verbatim in:
2804 # http://www.thoigian.com.vn/?mPage=P80D01
2805 # is translated by Brian Inglis in:
2806 # http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-October/021654.html
2807 # and is the basis for the information below.
2808 #
2809 # The 1906 transition was effective July 1 and standardized Indochina to
2810 # Phù Liễn Observatory, legally 104 deg. 17'17" east of Paris.
2811 # It's unclear whether this meant legal Paris Mean Time (00:09:21) or
2812 # the Paris Meridian (2 deg. 20'14.03" E); the former yields 07:06:30.1333...
2813 # and the latter 07:06:29.333... so either way it rounds to 07:06:30,
2814 # which is used below even though the modern-day Phù Liễn Observatory
2815 # is closer to 07:06:31. Abbreviate Phù Liễn Mean Time as PLMT.
2816 #
2817 # The following transitions occurred in Indochina in general (before 1954)
2818 # and in South Vietnam in particular (after 1954):
2819 # To 07:00 on 1911-05-01.
2820 # To 08:00 on 1942-12-31 at 23:00.
2821 # To 09:00 in 1945-03-14 at 23:00.
2822 # To 07:00 on 1945-09-02 in Vietnam.
2823 # To 08:00 on 1947-04-01 in French-controlled Indochina.
2824 # To 07:00 on 1955-07-01 in South Vietnam.
2825 # To 08:00 on 1959-12-31 at 23:00 in South Vietnam.
2826 # To 07:00 on 1975-06-13 in South Vietnam.
