 Re: History of Concert A=440

I have often heard of a 1939 agreeement, but cannot find when or when. Does anyone know? Must have been amazing harmony given all the other things that were going on that year. I thought also that concert pitch was defined at A= 440 hz by the international organization for standardization in Geneva in the 1950s. I'm also puzzled that my French clarinet is 442. Can anyone tell me why?
