Hi Anselmo, I believe that the difference between the two systems of EoT is that one is the reciprocal function. That is that one is from solar to standard where the other is from standard to solar. There does seem to be a difference of opinion on which is correct, solar or standard time. I vote my vote for solar. :-)
Thanks by the way for your other notes too!
