    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

    The tz database partitions the world into regions where local clocks all show the same time. This map was made by combining version 2023d with OpenStreetMap data, using open source software. [1] This is a list of time zones from release 2025a of the tz database. [2]

  3. Conformal map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map_projection

    In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth (a sphere or an ellipsoid) is preserved in the image of the projection; that is, the projection is a conformal map in the mathematical sense. For example, if two roads cross each other at a 39° angle, their images on a map ...

  4. Quarter sawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_sawing

    The relative angle that form the rings and the surface go from almost zero degrees in the external planks to almost ninety degrees at the core of the log. Quarter sawing gets its name from the fact that the log is first quartered lengthwise, resulting in wedges with a right angle ending at approximately the center of the original log.

    However, if the map is marked with an accurate and finely spaced latitude scale from which the latitude may be read directly—as is the case for the Mercator 1569 world map (sheets 3, 9, 15) and all subsequent nautical charts—the meridian distance between two latitudes φ 1 and φ 2 is simply

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_scaler

    The Log Scaler measures the cut trees to determine the scale (volume) and quality (grade) of the wood to be used for manufacturing. When logs are sold, in order to determine the basis for a sale price in a standard way, the logs are "scaled" which means they are measured, identified as to species, and deductions for defects assigned to produce ...

    However, exportation of any scale was delayed. During the winter of 1609, 154 of the original 214 colonists perished. The event would be remembered as the Starving Time, and it would be another eleven years before timber production of any consequence would resume in New England. [10]

    Until the late 19th century, first-angle projection was the norm in North America as well as Europe; [7] [8] but circa the 1890s, third-angle projection spread throughout the North American engineering and manufacturing communities to the point of becoming a widely followed convention, [7] [8] and it was an ASA standard by the 1950s.
