Abstract

It has been shown by D. P. Bellamy that every metric continuum is homeomorphic to a retract of some metric indecomposable continuum. This result was later extended by G. R. Gordh who proved a similar theorem in the non-metric case. In the present paper a different technique is used to generate such continua.
