Let G/G' be finitely generated and let G = B1 x A1 = B2 x A2 = … = Bi x Ai = … with each Bi isomorphic to a fixed group B which obeys the maximal condition for normal subgroups. Then the Ai represent only finitely many isomorphism classes. We give an example with B infinite cyclic, G/G' free abelian of infinite (countable) rank and such that G is decomposed as above with no two Ai isomorphic.
