Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Fixing of a Standard of Time and the Legalization Thereof: Session 1891
The President, While convinced of the good to flow eventually from the adoption of a common time unit, applicable throughout the globe, thinks. However, that the effort now to be made should be to reach by consultation, a conclusion as to the advisability of assembling an international congress with the object of finally adopting a common meridian. He, therefore, abstains from extending an invitation for a meeting at an assigned day until he has ascertained the views of the leading governments of the world as to whether such international conference is deemed desirable.
I am accordingly directed by the President to request you to bring the matter to the attention of the Government of through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with a view to learning whether its appreciation of the benefits to accrue to the intimate intercourse of civilized peoples from the consideration and adoption of the suggested common standard of time so far coincides with that of this Government as to lead it to accept an invitation to participate in an international conference at a date to be designated in the near future.
You may leave a copy of this instruction with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and request the views of his Government thereon, at as early a day as may be conveniently practicable.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a series of documents concerning a proposal to unify time-keeping methods to an international standard. The proposal sought to implement 'Standard Time,' a system of time zones based on hour meridians. Already in use across North America, the time zone system complemented the 24-hour 'universal day' to create a method for global timekeeping. Given at the 1884 Washington International Conference, the measure was a result of efforts by scientists, civic leaders, and international delegates collaborating to end confusion caused by multiple local times and the lack of a widely accepted standard for railway and telegraph timetables. In examining the ways this proposal was presented to political leaders, this book brings to light the challenges and benefits of international standardization. The debate over this resolution not only highlights the ideological differences and practical considerations in implementing a unified global timekeeping system but also gives insight into similar standardization efforts in a variety of disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781334832932_0
