In Jeffery's paper an explicit analytical solution is presented, and minimum and maximum values of the intrinsic viscosity in dependence of the aspect ratio are given for (prolate and) oblate spheroids. Later work by Brenner (1974) showed that Jeffery's bounds were too wide and that the complete solution can be given in the form
