When I was in IS at NYNEX, we would get Automatic Message Accounting 
tapes from the various central offices every day. And twice a year, we 
would have to correct the times on at least one tape that came from a CO 
where the tech has forgotten to reset the clock to or from DST.

I don't know why they didn't use Zulu time.
