. Plotting procedures are greatly facilitated when a coordinatograph is available. Thecoordinatograph; or rectangular coordinate plotter, is an instrument used to plot precise measurements.It is a table-like instrument containing a plotting arm across the surface for plotting x- and y-directions.The micrometer movement of the arm is geared along the glide-ends for precise adjustment and isequipped with needle, pencil, and inking points for plotting and drawing directly on the surface of themap or copy. The instrument is also equipped with interchangeable scales so that almost any desiredcombination of ratios can be obtained. In the preparation of maps, the coordinatograph is invaluable forthe construction of grid nets and the plotting of ground control.4-11. Plotting the Graticulea. Once the grid has been drawn, the next step is to locate the parallel and meridianintersections precisely according to the grid values of their geographic coordinates. Mapping instructionsin TPC TM S-1 specify the minimum interval be teen geographic coordinate intersections appearing onstandard maps. The intervals of plotted intersections required for standard scale maps are -Note: DOD Joint Operations Graphics (JOG) specifications are the basic instructions for 1:250,000 scalemaps, and specify: between latitudes 0° and 76° full lines of longitude shall be shown at 15-minuteintervals with 1-minute ticks shown thereon. Between latitude 76° to 84° North, and between 76° to 80°South, full lines of longitude shall be shown at 30-minute intervals with 1-minute ticks shown thereon.(1) It is usually sufficient to plot only the four corners of a 7 1/2-minute sheet at 1:25,000scale. The 15-minute sheets at 1:50,000 scale require that the intermediate 5-minute geographiccoordinate references be plotted to obtain the curvature of the parallels. A 30-minute sheet at 1:100,000scale requires that the 10-minute intersections be plotted.(2) When 2 1/2-minute ticks are desired between plotted 5-minute and 10-minute intervals,they are obtained by subdividing straight line connections between the plotted 5-minute and 10-minuteticks.136
