1. Introduction. After establishing a duplication principle (§2) which enables us to derive a group of order 2h with k + 1 involutory generators from any group of order h with k generators, we shall prove the following combination principle :

Let and be two groups, each having k generators, such that the rth generators of and have relatively prime periods for each r from 1 to k.
