First and second indicators blank
Must match information in 034, but recorded in human-readable format.
If 2 scales are present on the material, use two 034 and two 255 fields. If there are 3 scales or more, do not repeat 034 and 255 fields. Instead, code the 034 first indicator 3 and use the 255 ‡a Scales differ.
‡a - Statement of scale: Express as a representative fraction, which may be present on the map, approximated, or converted from a verbal scale statement. The denominator must match 034 ‡b. Generally do not supply punctuation at the end of the subfield.
For the statement “1in.=80ft”, record 255 ‡a Scale 1:960. 1 inch = 80 feet
For the statement “1 in. to the mi.”, record 255 __$a Scale 1:63,360. 1 inch to the mile
‡b - Statement of projection: Record projection type (Mercator, conic, etc.) if specified on the item. Otherwise, omit subfield. The subfield, when used, should be preceded by a semicolon.
‡c - Statement of coordinates: Enclose the statement in parentheses. End field with a period. Record coordinates in the format degrees/minutes/seconds in the following order, with punctuation as indicated below:
( [longitude: westernmost extent of area covered by material] – [longitude: easternmost extent of area covered by material] / [latitude: northernmost extent of area covered by material] – [latitude: southernmost extent of area covered by material] ).
Optionally, when the coordinates are not given in the material, establish them as accurately as possible using Bounding Box. Add 500 note: “Coordinates not present on map and are approximated.” See 034 for more details.
