Given the wealth of data, the rotation curve, and the necessity for out-of-plane hydrogen demonstrated in the preceding paper, it seems desirable to attempt to establish a systematic procedure for determining the three-dimensional distribution of hydrogen. Under the assumption of cylindrical rotation this is, in principle, possible for most of the galaxy.
