<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>Details and parameters of the Aruba Datum of 1951 and the Aruba Transverse Mercator Grid are in my "Grids and Datums" column of "Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing," July 2002, pp.653-654. A pdf file of the column may be downloaded from <A href="http://www.ASPRS.org/resources/grids">www.ASPRS.org/resources/grids</A>. The other datums and grids of the Netherlands Antilles are included therein also.</FONT></DIV>
