HOW TO PUT THE CLOCK BACK
WHEN. SUMMER TIME ENDS (Ver Press Association.) ' ’ WELLINGTON, Last Night The following is issued to-day by Dr. 0. E.'Adams, Government Astronomer and Seismologist: “I have to report that in accord, ance with the Summer Time’ Act the period siyimer time will end at 2 a.m. New Zealand standard time on the morning of Sunday, March 4th. This time is equivalent to 3 a.m. Summer Time. It will then be necessary for all clocks to be put back one hour. In the case of striking clocks great care will be necessary to see that the striking mechanism is not put out of order The simplest and safest method for putting the clock back one hour is to move it forward eleven hours, care being taken to see that the clock strikes the full chimes and hours as it is moved forward.
‘‘ln the ease of public clocks it would be desirable to muffle the sound of the striking while this is being done I have to recommend that this information be placed before the controlling authorities of all public clocks in New Zealand.”
