Louise,

Since it’s the lines appear a standard distance out from the center of the town, but may state the distance out from center,  maybe the scale can be used to show how far apart the lines are? So at 1 kilometer away from center, the Bonnescher adjustment is so many meters, at 2 km…, at 3 km, and so on.

Hi Leslie,

   But what do the red lines represent?

Text in left corner provides a method for numerical adjustment between Bonnescher Projection and Lambert projection.

Hello all,

I need some help understanding some projection information on an older map of Belgium that my assistant and I are cataloging:

Belgien 1:300000

Verwaltungskarte

Umwandlund der Bonneschen Koordinaten in Lambertsche Koordinaten für die Y-Werte

I understand the concept, but the map itself shows some lines that I don’t know how to describe.  A portion of the map is shown in the attached image along with explanatory text.  How would I describe this in the bibliographic record?

Thanks!

Louise
