We have used a superposed epoch analysis to examine the variation in solar wind properties observed in 1974 in a 'heliomagnetic' coordinate system tilted with respect to the solar equator. A tilt of 30¿¿10¿ was found to produce the best 'organization' of these properties in such a coordinate system. The solar wind speed increased with heliomagnetic latitude, while the proton density and the proton flux density decreased. These variations are qualitatively consistent with those inferred from coronal hole and other interplanetary observations.
