The method developed by Rallison and Acrivos (1978) to solve the deformation of a single drop due to exterior shear flow for a small Reynolds number is extended to the problem of the deformation of a compound drop. The result is found in terms of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, which is shown to have a unique solution and the solution is given by means of a uniformly convergent Neumann series.
