Abstract
In my previous communication presented to the IX Assembly of the International Association of Geodesy gathered at Brussels in 1951 (Chap. IV.1, this Vol.), I recalled the absolute character inherent in Laplace’s equation, which connects the deviations of the vertical in longitude and in azimuth. This arises in particular from the fact that the equation permits us to obtain, according to the case, the astronomical longitudes from the astronomical azimuths, or vice versa, without the ellipsoid used in the definition leaving the slightest trace in the result.
