REMARKS: in (1) correction of scale D is included in the
rotation matrix
******************* Attention *******************
In some transformation applications a different formula
than the formula above could be in use. The signs and order
of the rotation parameters are then define differently and
rotation unit can be arcseconds. For test purposes you can
find in this information system verification data to check
your application to get correct results.
Distinguish the following cases:
a) change of signs of rotation (Coordinate Frame Rotation)
Rx = -Rx
Ry = -Ry
Rz = -Rz
b) change of signs and order of rotation
Rx = -Rz
Ry = -Ry
Rz = -Rx

Operation method remarks | OSGB36 is an inhomogeneous system by modern standard,
generally accuracy 2 m, in some areas it is no better than
5 m, see www.gps.gov.uk for a more accurate transformation
in 1 km grid areas (registration for internal auditing
purposes neccessary) |
