Gentlemen I have a couple of station descriptions in my possession and a report, both with details on 2 stations in the Port Area of Colombo. One of the stations is as below. I do not know if the WGS 84 UTM coordinates are of any use to anyone, they are just part of my output. Mal Jones

The bible reference for all TM usage today is: Redfearn J C B (1948), Transverse Mercator Formulae, Empire Survey Review, Vol IX, No 69, July, P 318-322. It is just formulas, without integrals or differentials, and so easy to understand. Suggest you get a copy of this paper. Mal Jones
