In [1], p. 132, it is shown that there exist two disjoint subsets of a square each connecting a pair of opposite vertices. Our interest in obtaining covers by infinite collections of such sets was prompted by a question posed by R.B. Reed in [3], We are grateful also to Dr. M. Edelstein for his guidance and encouragement of our work on the subject.
