Today the use of local solar time for civic affairs is rare to non-existent. But before 1880 everyone did this. Also, it is common for the date to be recorded, and presumably accurate, since even people without clocks can count days. But the 24 hour span in local time must be converted to Universal Time to avoid a loss of accuracy; otherwise 24 hour uncertainty becomes approximately 48 hour uncertainty.
