<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear proj-members,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I would like to apply a Helmert trafo
as part of a datum shift.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The example follows the EPSG geomatics
guidance 7/2 (report 373-7-2):</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">From WGS72 (</font><font size=3 color=blue face="Courier New">4984</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">)
-> WGS84 (</font><font size=3 color=blue face="Courier New">4978</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There are 2 issues:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. How to apply Helmert-Trafo? I.e.
</font>
<ul>
<li><font size=2 face="sans-serif">with or </font>
<li><font size=2 face="sans-serif">without the push/pop of the ellipsoidal
height. </font></ul><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Only if it is not pushed/popped
do the values fit to the reference and the direct/naive implementation
of Helmert.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. The scale parameters in the example
(</font><font size=3 color=#808080 face="Courier New"><i>0.219</i></font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">)
and the EPSG catalogue of pyproj (</font><font size=3 color=#808080 face="Courier New"><i>0.2263</i></font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">)
do not agree.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The attached file has the test case.</font>
