Graticule

Meridians: Complex curves converging at the poles. A sine function is used
for y, but the meridians are not sine curves.

Parallels: Unequally spaced straight lines.

Poles: Points.

Symmetry: About the Equator and the central meridian.

Features

This is an equal-area projection. Scale is true along the fixed standard parallels at 35°, and 0.9 true along the Equator. This projection is neither conformal nor equidistant.

Parallels

The fixed standard parallels are at 35°.

Remarks

This projection was described by V. V. Kavraisky in 1933.
