-# From Paul Eggert (2018-01-30):
|
|
-# Whitman says DST was observed from 1931 to "the present";
|
|
-# Shanks & Pottenger say 1936 to 1942 with 20 minutes of DST,
|
|
-# with transitions on 09-01 and 12-31 at 00:00.

|
-# "to advance the time observed locally by the space of twenty minutes
|
|
-# during the last four months of each year; the object in view being
|
|
-# to extend during those months the period of daylight-time available

-# Vanessa Ogle, The Global Transformation of Time, 1870-1950 (2015), p 33,

|
|
-# time its legal time and simultaneously legalized a summer time of
|
|
-# UTC - 00:20 minutes from March to October."; a footnote lists

-# intend advancing Gold Coast time half an hour ahead of G.M.T.
|
|
-# The actual date of the alteration has not yet been announced."
|
|
-# These sources are incomplete and contradictory. Possibly what is
|
|
-# now Ghana observed different DST regimes in different years. For
|
|
-# lack of better info, use Shanks except treat the minus sign as a
|
