The ephemeris time of the 1952 standard leaves a continuing legacy, through its ephemeris second which became closely duplicated in the length of the current standard SI second ( see below: Redefinition of the second ).

In this way, decisions made by the original designers of ephemeris time influenced the length of today's standard SI second, and in turn, this has a continuing influence on the number of leap seconds which have been needed for insertion into current broadcast time scales, to keep them approximately in step with mean solar time.

In 1976 the IAU resolved that the theoretical basis for its current ( 1952 ) standard of Ephemeris Time was non-relativistic, and that therefore, beginning in 1984, Ephemeris Time would be replaced by two relativistic timescales intended to constitute dynamical timescales: Terrestrial Dynamical Time ( TDT ) and Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ).

In the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering, the northern terminus of Route 45 was cut back to its current location in Westville to avoid the concurrency with U. S. Route 130.

In the 1953 renumbering of New Jersey state highways, Route 48 was designated onto its current alignment from U. S. Route 130 to U. S. Route 40, with the rest of the route dropped in favor of the U. S. Route 40 designation.
