Abstract
M. C. R. Butler, in 1965, proved that if G is a finite rank torsion free abelian group then the following statements are equivalent: (i) G is a pure subgroup of a finite rank completely decomposable group C; (ii) G is a homomorphic image of a finite rank completely decomposable group D; (iii) typeset(G) is finite and for each type τ, G(τ) = Gτ ⨁ < G*(τ) >*, for some τ-homogenous completely decomposable group Gτ, and < G*(τ) >*/G*(τ) is finite.
