What is the proper tube angle for a Townes view of the skull done with the IOML perpendicular to the image receptor?

CR is angled 30 degrees caudal, exiting the occipital protuberance.
Semiaxial AP projection of the skull demonstrates the petrous pyramids of the temporal bone, the foramen magnum, dorsum sellae, posterior clinoid processes, occipital bone, and posterior portion of the parietal bones.

That describes the OML perpendicular version but the question refers to the 37 degree option...
