We investigate the structure of those non-separable metric spaces X, and their Stone-Čech compactifications, for which X has no closed discrete subspace of power equal to the weight of X. (Throughout this paper we denote the weight of X—the smallest power of a base for the topology of X—by the symbol wX.)
