     There is a bibliography on the web for Coast Survey ANNUAL REPORTs:
 
       http://www.lib.noaa.gov/edocs/cgsreports.html
 
     Hope this works. Until this product was developed, it was really
     difficult to find stuff in these reports.

  This seems like it should be straight-forward but flailing around
in our government documents (we're only a partial depository and
don't have 19th c. things from the Naval Observatory, the C&GS  or
the proceeding of the 1884 prime meridian conference),the Web,  and
our books on longitude / time / cartography I haven't come up with an
answer.
  The patron is working in a federal office with some 19th c.
surveys measured from the Washington meridian. He needs an exact
longitude (from Greenwich) of the Washington meridian.   I can
find longitude in h,m,s for various  late 19th c. atsronomical
instruments and the 1893 observatory building.
