"method of projection which distinguishes it from all other methods. The unique characteristic referred to is that the projected diagram retains true measurement, shape, direction, and distance throughout all of the enclosing boundaries of the segments with mathematically controlled distortion ‘massaged’ to the center of the projection areas. All other projections are true in measure, shaping, and direction only at an interior point or along one side or along one or several separated lines or arcs crossing the projection with progressive distortion articulated outwards towards one or more of the enclosing edges of the projected diagram. In other words, my new projection is uniformly corrected by internalization while all other projections are corrected by some systematic externalization of error. This allows of true external association of my projection units, which is impossible in all other methods demonstrated to date.
“Only in the case of the azimuthal or gnomonic projections where correction is radiantly distributed does this externalization of correction allow of uniform relationship of one portion of the spherical projection to another; but in the cases of the azimuthal or gnomonic hemispheres, there is only”
