Photometria(1760), Cosmologische Briefe über die Einrichtung des Weltbaues(1761), Neues Organon(1764), DieTheorie der Parallelinien(1766), Zusatze zu den logarithmisch-trigonometrischen Tabellen(1770), Anlage zur Architectonic(1771) Freie Perspective(1774), Pyrometrie(1779), Deutscher Gelehrter Briefwechsel(1781-1784), and Opera mathematica(1946). Spaced at one-kilometer (or 1,000-meter) intervals, the light-blue tick marks along the top and bottom, as well as the left and right sides, of a quad correspond to the UTM coordinate system's easting and northing grid lines, respectively. On a smooth, flat surface, use a long ruler — at least 24 inches in length for 7.5-minute USGS quads — and a very sharp pencil to connect the UTM coordinate system's corresponding pairs of light-blue grid tick marks, which are located adjacent to the outside of a map's marginal neat lines.
