Parameter files are from NAD27 to NAD83 (1) (code 1241) assuming that NAD83 is equivalent to WGS 84 within the accuracy of this tfm. Uses NADCON method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG CRS codes 4267 and 4326 have longitudes positive east.

Statistical analysis.
Uses spherical projection formulas. USGS documentation describes sphere as derived from GRS80/WGS 84 ellipsoid but that actually used is Clarke 1866. For 1:1million and smaller scale maps there is no significant difference.
United States (USA) - onshore and offshore.
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (X,Y). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
