Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Theory of the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection
This publication gives a general development of the theory of the Lambert conformal conic projection. It is intended to supplement the matter found in Special Publication No. 47 entitled, The Lambert Conformal Conic Projection with No Standard Parallels. It is also supplementary in a way to Special Publication N o. 49, which contains the Lambert projection tables for the region in France, and to Special Publication No. 52, which gives corresponding tables for the United States, since it gives as a whole the mathematical development of the theory upon which they depend.
A short account of Lambert's life and work is given in the introductory paragraphs, followed by a few pages upon the subject of projections in general.
