<p>Hi Hanlie<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Yes, the Co-ords will also be in Cape Feet. Remember to add back the constants before you convert.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a 1946 SG diagram that states 'Cape Feet' as the unit of<br>
measurement for its lengths, but it says 'System Lo 19°' above its<br>
list of coordinates.<br>
<br>
Would the coordinates therefore also be in Cape Feet?<br>
<br>
The diagram is attached.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Hanlie<br>
