Extract

In the first decade or so of 21 cm studies the galactic spiral structure problem was treated in a very straightforward manner. A simple velocity-distance transformation was used to derive the locations of the spiral arms from the radial velocities of the main features on the 21 cm profiles. Some well-known diagrams were obtained in this way.
