Summary:

There are a great number of experimental papers relating to the question of air resistance of cylinders perpendicular to an airstream. In reviewing these papers, the aim has been to show the lack of consistency between the various results published, to date. It is, moreover, necessary to make a more thorough study of the question by examining in detail the experimental conditions relating to each result and eliminating those experiments which are not strictly comparable.
