Let G be a Hausdorff locally compact abelian group. The author has shown (Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 10 (1974), 59–66) that, given ε > 0 and a certain base {Vi}iI of symmetric open neighbourhoods of zero, the algebra L1(G) admits a bounded positive approximate unit {ki}iI such that for every p–th integrable function f on G,

where ω(p; f; Vi) denotes the mean modulus of continuity with exponent p of f. The purpose of this paper is to obtain {ki}iI (as above) with a simple dependence of supp on {ki}iI on Vi; this is achieved for finite products and homomorphic images of groups for which such a simple dependence is known. The results obtained are used to give a simplified proof of the classical Jackson's Theorem for the circle group, and an analogue of this theorem for the a-adic solenoid.
