There are two well-known methods to build up algebras from given algebras, the direct and inverse limits, and a systematic account of these constructions may be found in [2]. It is known that every algebra can be represented as a direct limit of finitely generated algebras although in some cases the representation is trivial. Furthermore, Haimo [3] has established a certain inverse limit representation for the class of all infinite Boolean algebras which generalises, in actual fact, to the class of all infinite lattices with 1. The purpose of this note is to exhibit a certain nontrivial inverse limit representation which is peculiar to the class of infinite, complete Boolean algebras.
