In a paper on the same subject [28] and another coming out at the same time [27], Nagata gave his celebrated Double (treble, really) Sequence Theorem, with which he deduced easily and thus brought together the basic metrization theorems, i.e. theorems in which the conditions for metrizability are given as the availability of bases or subbases of certain descriptions.
