The Wikipedia link provides additional context; it is not evidence for a historical claim. Transition data comes from the IANA source file.
Notes from the time database
The story behind the clock

N.B.: the end of March 29 in Chile is March 30 in Universal time, which is used below in specifying the transition.
Original IANA source file: southamerica.
