>From the descriptive terms you mention in your request concerning map
projection tables, it sounds like the person is looking for the support
materials for the  Universal Transverse Mercator Projection ( UTM).  The UTM
Grid has different zones which are based on the meter.  They are further
divided by Northing and Eastings and there are special tables for
interpreting UTM.    UTM Grid appears on all US topographic maps along with
the Latitude and Longitude.  There are several governmental publications
that deal exclusively with the UTM Projection and Grid.  If you want a brief
explanation, check out Maps for  America; Cartographic products of the U.S.
Geological Survey by Morris Thompson.  It is a USGS publication sent to GPO
depository libraries.

Hope this helps.
