    About the Cassini–Soldner family

    Palestine 1923 / Israeli CS Grid uses the Cassini–Soldner projection — a historical belt grid, in metres, that is NOT conformal: scale depends on direction, so angles and shapes are slightly distorted away from the central meridian. Several Palestine and Bahrain cadastral grids are Cassini.

    Because it is non-conformal, a single "scale factor" is not enough — the scale differs along and across the meridian. Treat legacy Cassini coordinates carefully, and reproject to a modern conformal system for GIS work.
