This lecture covers the Swiss projection system, adopted in 1903, based on the Bessel ellipsoid. It explains the coordinate system, advantages, deformation, and linear alterations of the projection, with examples from France. The instructor also discusses the conformal projection of the ellipsoid onto the sphere and provides analytical formulas for the Swiss projection.
