Vintage, wartime fold-out chart for gauging the concurrence of events at two different locations

• One of the examples in the accompanying text cites the first Allied Commando raid at Dieppe, which began at 0500 hours on 19 August 1942, which correlates to 2400 hours Central War Time in Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, and all other places along the 120th Meridian of East Longitude.



• Other examples in the text, and the overall utility of the chart, illustrate its value to anyone who needs to quickly and easily grasp the time differences between various locations worldwide.



• No figuring or computation is required to use this chart. It does not, like many other systems, give only the time difference between definite points in the world, but actually gives the time for any hour, day or night.



• The chart was compiled by Lieutenant Commander Charles M. Thomas of the United States Coast & Geodetic Survey and published by Cornell Maritime Press, New York, in 1943.



• The map and accompanying text are printed on a sheet which opens to 22" x 15¾" and folds into gray hardcover boards, with the title Simplified Time Chart of the World.



• Condition:  The fold-out sheet is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with no marks, rips, or tears. The cover boards are sound, with faint spotting, strong corners, and no wear. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
