Let X be a compactification of the ray with the arc as remainder. The following characterisation of the open images of X is obtained: Let h: XY be an open onto map. If Y is not homeomorphic to [0, 1] or the one-point space, then h is a homeomorphism. In 1977 open images of the usual sin (1/x) continuum were characterised by Professor Sam B. Nadler.
