Name: Adindan to WGS 84 (5)
Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)
Remarks: Derived at 1 station connected to the Adindan (Blue Nile 1958) network through the 1968-69 12th parallel traverse. Accuracy 25m in each axis. Note: the Adindan (Blue Nile 1958) CRS is used in Ethiopia and Sudan, not Mali.
