Daylight Saving Time
Analog clocks with digital displays cannot be wound back, as the flip mechanism operates only in one direction. Instead they must be wound forward 23 hours to achieve the effect of winding back 1 hour at the end of daylight saving time, or by stopping it for an hour. However, on some newer clocks, forward and backward time setting is possible. GE clocks sometimes had this feature.

Famous quotes containing the words daylight, saving and/or time:
“I thought of rhyme alone,
For rhyme can beat a measure out of trouble
And make the daylight sweet once more....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The American people is out to get the kaiser. We are bending every nerve and every energy towards that end; anybody who gets in the way of the great machine the energy and devotion of a hundred million patriots is building towards the stainless purpose of saving civilization from the Huns will be mashed like a fly. I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
