Miller cylindrical projection

The Miller cylindrical projection is a modified Mercator projection proposed by Osborn Maitland Miller (1897–1979) in 1942. The latitude is scaled by a factor of 45, projected according to Mercator, and then the result is multiplied by 54 to retain scale along the equator.
