o "Saturday"?  I've never heard of the boundary's being other than on Sunday,
  in any locale, in any era.  Jewish calendar, perhaps?  No; that doesn't fit.

o Does "[o]riginally" mean before 2006, which was the most recent major
  change in the U.S., or before 1973, which was the previous major change?
  (From memory; +/- a year or 2).

o I'm skeptical about "atomic clocks"; that devices with nanosecond accuracy
  would be submitted to semiannual goosing.  Perhaps lower tier standards.
