Tables of meridional parts for the Mercator projection were computed from the parameters of the Clarke Spheroid of 1866: Semimajor axis = a = 6,378,206.4 meters; Flattening = (a-b)/a = f = 1/294.98. These tables can be used for special computations in which the relationship between cartographic detail on a Mercator chart and geodetic control based on the North American 1927 Datum is needed. Flattening = (a-b)/a = f = 1/294.98. The computation of the elements and the reproduction of the tables were accomplished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey with the support of the U. S. Navy Hydrographic Office. (Author)
