CH1840 - Bonne Projection History Switzerland Map Projection
graphic13.08.2011
Name: CH1840
Map Projection Methode: Bonne Projection
Reference Surface: Schmidt 1828
Geodetic Reference System: CH1840
Used for the Dufour Map (from 1840) and Siegfried Map (from 1870)
graphic
"The geodetic bases used for this map series were published by Johannes Eschmann in «Ergebnisse der trigometrischen Vermessungen in der Schweiz» in 1840. The reference ellipslid was the «Schmidt ellipsoid from 1828» (a = 6376804.37 m, f = 1/302.02, in the original a = 3271773.00 toises, b = 3260940.03 toises). In other sources this ellipsoid is called the «Schumacher» ellipsoid. Its fundamental point was the old observatory in Bern with coordinates from 1836:
Lon: 7° 26' 24.75" E (or in the original: 5.670000 gon east of Paris)
Lat: 46° 57' 06.03" N (52.168529 gon)"
