A Clock for Multiple Localities with Multiple
Time Zones |
|
|
Below, there is a system of nine
clocks, for multiple localities, with different time zones.
one of the clocks is set to Greenwich Mean Time which controls all
of the clocks in the system. This design concept, eliminate
some of the disadvantages of the clock presented above, and it also keeps
track of eight time zones simultaneously. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The advantage with this
design concept is if you move from one time zone to another, you only have
to check and readjust the Greenwich Mean Time. The
readjustment is necessary for the Greenwich Mean Time because, it is
interpreted in terms of the local time on the computer's clock.
However, the eight clocks representing different time zones do not
have to be readjusted if you move from one locality to another. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you are dealing
with a locality that uses daylight savings time, (or the equivalent
European Summer Time ) you have to readjust the Greenwich Mean Time. You
may also have to adjust some of the other clocks on the system, to
compensate for the above. You can check the time in any
locality with an Internet search. |
|
|
|
|
To use this clock, you
must set the Greenwich Mean Time, by entering an appropriate number in the
white input box in the red section, with the words Greenwich Mean Time
(see below). For New York, during daylight savings time, the
correct number is -4. This is usually presented as GMT-4:00.
Once the Greenwich Mean Time is set, you can set the time zones for
specific localities, in a way that is identical to the above.
For example, (based on the summer months) California is GMT - 7:00,
Texas is GMT-5, New Mexico is GMT-6, Tokyo Japan is GMT+ 9,
Rome Italy is GMT+ 2, Sydney Australia is GMT+10 and Bangalore
India is GMT+ 5:30. Note, when the number involves a fraction of an hour,
enter it in decimals. With the above example, (Bangalore) to
enter GMT+ 5:30, enter 5.5. |

|
Below each white input box, there is a yellow
input box to enter the locality that relates to the time setting, such as
(USA) California Time. |
|
|
NOTE: You can find the correct GMT number for any locality
|
|
|
at the following website |

|
|
You can also find the correct GMT
number for any locality by doing a Google search with the search phrase
GMT locality. Specific examples of search phrases are GMT New
York, GMT Tokyo Japan, GMT Rome Italy |

Keep in mind, all of the
above settings are based on the time for the summer months, which may
change in some regions during the winter months. However all
of the numbers and words in the white and yellow input boxes can be
deleted. Thus, you can make any adjustments that are required for the
winter months, and you can also enter any time zones and related settings
for any locality on Earth. |
