This variation of Hotine produces rectified Cartesian coordinates. Its origin is the intersection of the central geodesic and the equator of the aposhere. The rectification method is specific to Zone 1 of the Alaska State Plan Coordinate System. Although it hasn’t been determined yet, it is possible this variation may be used for the Great Lakes Survey.
