It is shown that if a disk of finite radius and the surrounding medium rotate coaxially with slightly different angular velocities, an axial layer in the form of a cylindrical shell exists at the edge of the disk. This shell of thickness O(E ~/3) has length O(E -~) in axial direction, where E is the
