Name: NAD27(76) to NAD83 (1)
Method: NTv2
Grid Files: May76v20.gsb
Remarks: Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD27(76) (code 4608) and NAD83 (code 4269) have longitudes positive east. May be taken as approximate transformation NAD27(76) to WGS 84 - see code 1690.
