ABSTRACT

Denmark is in northern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, on a peninsula that is north of Germany, as well as a number of islands that include Sjælland, Fyn, Falster, Lolland, Langeland, and Bornholm. An object of my curiosity for decades regarding Danish enigmas was the references to the “Buchwald Projection,” mentioned in the Planheft as well as other equally obscure sources, as far as the English language is concerned. An analysis of the observations of classical triangulation in Europe later published by AMS included the “System 34” of Denmark that was observed from 1926 to 1933. The circular implements the technical proposals of the 1921 Survey Committee in regard to the unification of the triangulation and altametric system of the several states and the adoption of the Prussian Geographical Coordinate system and datum throughout the Reich.
