Name: NAD27 to NAD83(CSRS)v2 (1)
Method: NTv2
Grid Files: QUE27-98.gsb
Remarks: Also found with file name NA27SCRS.GSB. Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD27 (code 4267) and NAD83(CSRS) (code 4617) have longitudes positive east. Can be taken as an approximate CT NAD27 to WGS 84 - see code 1692.
