Some time ago, I put together a history and description of the UTM.
It was intended as an introduction to the use of UTM coordinates for
historians and archaeologists. There is also a short reference list with
it. I would be happy to send the text to anyone interested. The full cite is:
Peter H. Stott, "The UTM Grid Reference System," IA, The Journal
of the Society for Industrial Archeology 3:1 (1977), 1-14.
Regards
Peter Stott
