0. Introduction. Let as be an arc in the interior In of the n-cell In and let X be the quotient space I"/ac obtained by shrinking a to a point. According to Kwun and Raymond [4], X X 12 is an (n + 2)-cell. The crucial tool in their proof is the result of Andrews-Curtis that, under the above conditions, In/a X R1 is homeomorphic to In XR1. The purpose if this paper is to prove by completely elementary means (i. e. avoiding the Andrews-Curtis theorem and the theory of generalized manifolds) a more general result which specializes to the following:
