Extract
1. Introduction. Our problem is related to the construction of geographical maps as follows. The reason for using conformai geographical maps is that the scale (viz., the ratio of two corresponding line-elements) does not depend on the direction of these line-elements. In an ideal map the scale, being responsible for the preservation of shape, would also be independent of the points where the line-elements begin.
