Notice to Mariners No. 56 of 1929.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 10th October, 1929.

SUMMER TIME.

INFORMATION is hereby given that the time for general purposes in New Zealand shall during the period of summer time be thirty minutes in advance of New Zealand standard time.

The use of summer time does not affect the use of New Zealand standard time for purposes of astronomy, meteorology, or navigation, or affect the construction of any document mentioning or referring to a point of time in connection with any of those purposes.

The Summer Time Act, 1929, prescribes the period of summer time shall be taken to be the period beginning at two o’clock, New Zealand standard time, in the morning of the second Sunday in October in any year, and ending at two o’clock, New Zealand standard time, in the morning of the third Sunday in March in the next succeeding year.

The attention of mariners is drawn to the several elements contained in the New Zealand Nautical Almanac and Tide-tables which are given in terms of New Zealand standard time, and to the necessity for adding thirty minutes to all such times if desiring to obtain them in terms of summer time.

Admiralty and other publications for navigational purposes will be similarly affected.
