Transverse Mercator Snyder Projection

This projection is based on the description and formulae in John P. Snyder's Map Projections-- A Working Manual (U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1395), pp. 60-64. These formulas have been superseded by more precise versions. There are, however, some instances where users may want to use the older, less precise formulas (for example, if the results will be compared to old data).
