I read it somewhere, I'm sorry I can't recall where... when the United Nations considered calendar reform in the 1950s it and the World Calendar were the two main proposals. Now I look at it a bit more, maybe I have the name of the thing wrong... I'm sure I've read it called the "Perpetual Calendar" somewhere, but all I can find is a reference to the "International Fixed Calendar" or the "Cotsworth calednar" or the "Eastman plan"... the thing obviously had a lot of names. Okay, have a look at this website: http://personal.ecu.edu/mccartyr/13-month.htm -- Simon J Kissane |

The disciption is almost identical to the "Cotworth and Eastman Calendar". The only difference is that the leap day occurs in the extra month Sol rather than at the end of the year.
