Abstract

Recent results on 21-cm line velocity fields of spiral galaxies are reviewed. Attention is drawn to the sometimes discrepant results on the spatial orientation of galaxies inferred from various methods. Major classes of deviations from circular, planar, motion of the neutral gas are discussed. Some comments are made about HI rotation curves.
