I think RFC 958 (Sept 1985) was the first NTP RFC, and it includes support
for leap seconds. The earlier network time RFC's lack leap seconds. I
don't know at what point after RFC 778 (April 1981) NTP learned about
them...

Trafalgar, South Fitzroy: Easterly or southeasterly backing northerly later, 4
or 5 occasionally 6 in east. Mainly moderate. Fair. Good.
