ET (now relativisticly TT, or TCB, or TDB) for things not on earth.
The principal printed appearance of new-UTC was in decrees from
bureaucrats who were protected from seeing that the pracitioners of
time did not agree that new-UTC was the best thing to us
cause it is painfully
evident where there were typos and where some integration went awry
for several points before returning to match again. Not possible to
see, of course, are cases where the numbers went awry and stayed
that way.
