The plane coordinates of a point on the earth s surface, to be used in expressing the position or location of the point in the appropriate zone of CCS27 or CCS83, shall consist of two distances, expressed in feet and decimals of a foot or meters and decimals of a meter. When the values are expressed in feet, the U.S. Survey foot, (one foot = 1200/3937 meters) shall be used as the standard foot for CCS27 and CCS83. One of these distances, to be known as the East x-coordinate, shall give the distance east of the Y axis; the other, to be known as the North y-coordinate, shall give the distance north of the X axis. The Y axis of any zone shall be parallel with the central meridian of that zone. The X axis of any zone shall be at right angles to the central meridian of that zone.
