I agree with your assessment that it is a transverse project, but I
thought Lambert was only suitable for projections of a hemisphere? I
could be mistaken though, it's been several years since I worried about
projections and never did much serious work with anything bigger than a
hemisphere and most the time i was worried about the US (1). I since
gotten rid of most of my map projection books. oh well.
Changing topics slightly, what are currently doing with mapping? Is it
part of your graduate work? just curious... I've been doing a lot of
current work with UTM and Stateplane in the past few months.

great site-- really informative both for the newbie and 'enthusist'
