There was a time during by bachelors, I used to make geographic framework manually. The process included tedious geographical calculations, framing a projection, and tracing map with a pantograph. It was a week long exhaustive process. Attached are few of the work sheets I did during bachelors.
Mercator's Projection
Polar Zenithal Equal Area Projection
Bonne's Projections
And now with blessings of ArcGIS, I can do this with click of a button!
Thanks for sharing, very interesting! Everyday I am amazed how EASY ArcGIS makes things and how far GIS technology has come since I started in the field in 1998.
