Due to the limited area, the slight additional refinement obtained
by computing a Transverse Mercator Grid would not have been
practical.

The origin of plane coordinates, N 100,000, Ff 100,0CC, was
taken at station CORAL and the basis of bearings was a true
meridian through this station as computed through the adjusted
figures from the line, station RUNIT to station SAND.
The 1957 expansion survey included establishing new second

order stations on sites YVONNE, SALLY and GENF and third order
stations on sites GLENN, HENRY, JAMES and KEITH.

As

an evaluation of the observing results indicated the values to be

within a tolerance of one part in 5,000, it was decided to defer
the re-observing until such time as more precise values are
required for the station.
