4 Graticulation of the Earth’s surface

For the purposes of this Act, the surface of the Earth is taken to be divided—

(a) by the meridian of Greenwich and by meridians of longitude that are at a distance from that meridian of 5 minutes, or a multiple of 5 minutes, of longitude, and

(b) by the equator and by parallels of latitude that are at a distance from the equator of 5 minutes, or a multiple of 5 minutes, of latitude,

into graticular sections, each of which is bounded—

(c) by portions of 2 of those meridians that are at a distance from each other of 5 minutes of longitude, and

(d) by portions of 2 of those parallels that are at a distance from each other of 5 minutes of latitude.
