Dieudonné (4) has constructed an example of a Banach space X and a complete Boolean algebra of projections on X such that has uniform multiplicity two, but for no choice of x1, x2 in X and non-zero E in is EX the direct sum of the cyclic subspaces clm {Ex1:E∈} and clm {Ex2:E∈}. Tzafriri observed that it could be deduced from Corollary 4 (9, p. 221) that the commutant ′ of is equal to A(), the algebra of operators generated by in the uniform operator topology. A study of (3) suggested the direct proof of the second property given in this note. From this there follows a simple proof that has the first property.
