Recently Orrin Frink (see [2]) gave a neat internal characterization of Tychonoff or completely regular T spaces. This characterization was given in terms of the notion of a normal base for the closed sets of a space X. A normal base for the closed sets of a space X is a base which is a disjunctive ring of sets, disjoint members of which may be separated by disjoint complements of members of . In a normal space the ring of closed sets is a normal base.
