The wikipedia description of the origin of UTC is within the rules becuase it cites the NIST web page which says the same. The underlying problems are the recent and not so recent -- but available and citeable -- references written from the standpoint of old guys remembering what happened. Those writeups differ from the original CCIR documents and minutes of the proceedings (and those are very difficult to obtain). The originals give a clearer picture of who was trying to do what and their contemporary understanding of the issues. -- Steve Allen <[email protected]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
