By the way, I think it is also the case that the instructions for hand-drawing an actual Mercator projection, included in many books on navigation, usually borrowed from a source like Bowditch, are a major source of confusion on this issue. You don't need those drawing instructions for anything. A standard plotting sheet is not drawn using those instructions.

Frank, how do you draw what you call "a standard plotting sheet?"
