Let G be a torsion-free abelian group of finite rank n and let F be a full free subgroup of G. Then G/F is isomorphic to T1 ⊕ … ⊕ Tn, where T1T2 ⊆ … ⊆ Tn ⊆ ℚ/ℤ. It is well known that type T1 = inner type G and type Tn = outer type G. In this note we give two characterisations of type Ti for 1 < i < n.
