     Hierdie aanbeveling is egter nie prakties nie. 'n Tydsone is gewoonlik 15 lengtegrade wyd, dit wil sê 7½° oos en wes van 'n standaardmeridiaan.

     This recommendation is, however, not practical. A time zone is usually 15 degrees of longitude wide, that is, 7½° east and west of a standard meridian.
