This investigation presents a total picture of the well-known corrugation-phenomenon for the (heliocentric) longitude range 10° ≤ 1 ≤ 240° as derived from HI-studies. For each spiral arm of the spiral pattern of Simonson (1976), we derived the centroid of the HI distribution from the 21-cm line surveys of Weaver and Williams (1974), Sinha (1979), and Westerhout and Wendlandt (1982). The three-component mass model of Rohlfs and Kreitschmann (1981) was used to derive a radial-velocity field, which was supplemented by a radial expansion field and by density-wave kinematics. This combined field served to calculated kinematic distances. The warp was taken into account according to Henderson et al. (1982) and Kulkarni et al. (1982).
