Abstract
We present here an alternavite derivation to that given by De Gennes, of the Hoffman-Tanner law. By considering that the driving force acting upon the wedge-precursor film system is proportional to the surface tension gradient and by assuming that the flow of this system is of Couette type, we find the Hoffman-Tanner law.
