Popis:	When a disk of finite radius and the surrounding medium rotate coaxially with slightly different angular velocities, a so-called Stewartson layer exists at the edge of the disk. The properties of this layer outside the boundary layer of the disk have been given in a previous publication. In the present paper it is shown how the radial flow of the Ekman boundary layer turns into the axial flow of the Stewartson layer. This happens in a region of which both the radial and axial dimensions are O(E1/2), where E is the Ekman number.
