# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,

# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it

# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan

# That Sunday was called the "day of two noons", as the eastern parts

# of the new zones observed noon twice. Allen witnessed the
