The face-on spiral galaxy IC 342 is known to possess an axisymmetric spiral magnetic field (ASS) with magnetic field lines being orientated inwards everywhere at least in the analyzed radial range between 5 and 13 kpc1 (Krause et al., 1989a; Sokoloff et al., 1992). The ASS field configuration seems to be even with respect to the galactic plane.
