A comparison of published CO line strengths of nearby Sb and Sc galaxies with (21 cm) radio continuum disk surface brightness σ21 suggests the quantitative correlation TA*ΔV/σ21 = 0.2 - 0.3K km s-1mJy-1 in a 1arcmin beam. This correlation can be used to predict CO line strengths of hitherto undetected galaxies. The authors present a possible interpretation of this result in terms of similar OB star formation efficiencies in Sb and Sc galaxy disks.
