What time an atomic clock to reset itself Daylights Savings?

I am curious what point an atomic clock is reset summer itself. This last is April 2008. I was under the belief that was predetermined at 3:00 am This is located in the state of Kansas, and the CST (-6) time zone. Sources reputable sites are best.



They do not. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) only progress forward to one second per second. Never jump forward or backward one hour. Time zones themselves change its UTC offset, so CST -5, While CDT is -6. Watches officers occasionally add second jump at the end of a day (23:59:60) to account for the gradual slowing of the rotation of the earth.
