Scientific paper

We study the orientation of accretion disks, traced by the position angle of
the jet, relative to the dust disk major axis in a sample of 20 nearby Radio
Galaxies. We find that the observed distribution of angles between the jet and
dust disk major axis is consistent with jets homogeneously distributed over a
polar cap of 77 degrees.
