An explicit description of a hyperbolic canonical coordinate system for an expansive automorphism of a compact connected abelian group is given. These dynamical systems are factors of subshifts of finite type. Some properties of the associated crossed product C*-algebra are discussed. In these examples, the C* -algebras of Ruelle are crossed product algebras.
