In this paper we investigate the properties of the product (or complete direct sum) of torsion Abelian groups. The chief results concern products of Abelian primary groups (p-groups). Given a set of p-groups, [Gλ], over an index set Λ, the product of these groups is written λλ∈ΔGλ, the torsion subgroup of the product of these p-groups is written T[λG λ], and the discrete direct sum of the p-groups is written Σ Gλ.

Definition. Σ Gλ is said to be an essentially bounded decomposition if and only if there exists an integer M > 0 such that MGλ = 0 for all but a finite number of Gλs; otherwise the decomposition is essentially unbounded.
