This paper constructs a class of examples to show that for torsion-free groups H with finite nilstufe v(H) = n < ∞ there can be divisible torsion groups D with v(H ⊕ D) - n + k for all k ≤ n + 1. This answers a question of Feigelstock. The construction is based on a proposition which bounds v(H ⊕ D) in terms of v(H) and rank (D).
