Abstract
A theorem of Harper for axially symmetric flow past a sphere which is a stream surface, and is also shear-free, is extended to flow past a doubly-body 𝔅 consisting of two unequal, orthogonally intersecting spheres. Several illustrative examples are given. An analogue of Faxen's law for a double-body is observed.
