About this title: This study of Sir Sandford Fleming, a civil engineer and scientist, examines his great role in developing standard global time. He came up with the idea of the 24-hour clock, and with AM and PM, and he proposed and defended his idea in 1884 in Washington, D.C. at the Prime Meridian Conference. Since then, his invention has been used worldwide to standardize travel and communication.
