The Frančula Projections

Tobias Jung

Abstract


In the beginning of this year, I added the Györffy E projection to my website (https://blog.map-projections.net/the-francula-projections#cblox_144). Preparing that blogpost, I read Györffy’s paper (Györffy 2018) where I stumbled across the mentioning of projections that “were created (…) by suitable renumbering of Aitoff and ordinary polyconic”. Now, I have written about the Umbeziffern (renumbering, map-projections.net/wagner-umbeziffern.php) quite a lot, but I had never heard or read that this procedure had been applied to the American Polyconic. So I investigated and found out that in 1971, Nedjeljko Frančula introduced a bunch of projections obtained by Umbeziffern from various parent projections (Frančula 1971).
