[LEAPSECS] D.H. Sadler in 1954

2018-03-13 Thread Steve Allen
In 1954 D.H. Sadler produced a monograph on the changes in time that had been resolved at the 1952 IAU General Assembly. His writeup is clearer than almost anything else for the next 60 years. It was published in Occasional Notices of the RAS, and it has been hard to find until now.
