Notes. (a) Corrected for instrumental broadening & gas velocity dispersion using the ``equivalent rectangular measure'' (Shane & Bieger-Smith 1966).
(b) Corrected for instrumental broadening & gas velocity dispersion by quadratic subtraction, see Eq. (9).
(c) Uses the standard Fall & Efstathiou (1980) parametric rotation curve form, constant $\sigma_z$, and a 2D exponential surface density to model the XV diagram.
(d) Corrected for broadening & beam-smearing (see Olling's method in Sect. 2.6).
(e) Asymmetric drift correction applied.
(f) Using distance measured by van der Kruit (1981) for NGC 891.
$^{(\dagger)}$ Re-analysis of NGC 891 data observed by Sancisi & Allen (1979).
$^{(\ddagger)}$ New deeper WSRT NGC 891 data - 144 h.
