Introduction. Let X be a submanifold of Y, in either the topological, smooth, or piecewise linear ( = PL) categories. A normal cell bundle on X in Y is a bundle ξ = (p, E, X) in the category whose fibre is a closed cell, and such that E is a neighbourhood of X in Y and p: E → X is a retraction. The triple (Y, X, ξ) is a tubular neighbourhood, or briefly, a tube. For convenience we may refer to a tube by its cell bundle.
