This study is based on the catalogue of 69 open clusters by Barkhatova et al. (1987) and cluster distances taken from Hagen (1970). Most of the dimensionless characteristics discussed here are insensitive to the distance scale. Galactocentric cylindrical coordinates of clusters and the corresponding velocities have been calculated with the accepted galactocentric distance of the Sun R = 8.2 kpc and the galactocentric velocity of the Sun sR = −9 km/s, sθ = 228 km/s, sz = 7 km/s.
