The transformation method for the ED50 to ED87 (1) transformation, 4th-order reversible polynomial, is reversible. The same formulas may be applied for the reverse calculation, but coefficients A0 through A14 and B0 through B14 are applied with reversal of their signs. Sign reversal is not applied to the coordinates of the evaluation point. Thus: Ordinate 1 of evaluation point X0 = 55° 00' 00.000"N = +55 degrees Ordinate 2 of evaluation point Y0 = 0° 00' 00.000"E = +0 degrees A0 = +5.56098E-06 A1 = +1.55391E-06 ...
