Standard time, as originally proposed by Sir Sandford Fleming in 1879, divided the world into twenty-four time zones, each one covering 15 degrees of longitude.

Although two delegates, including Sandford Fleming, proposed the adoption of standard time by all nations, other delegates objected, stating that it was outside the purview of the conference, so neither proposal was subjected to a vote.

Sir Sandford Fleming, ( January 7, 1827 – July 22, 1915 ) was a Scottish-born Canadian engineer and inventor.
