Abstract

We show that the notion of the bundle of tangents along the fiber over the total space of a fibering is not a good one when the fibering in question is PL. In particular it is shown that there are vector bundles over the same base space such that (1) the associated sphere bundles are PL-equivalent; (2) the consequent homeomorphism of total spaces is not covered by any PL-disk bundle equivalence of the respective bundles of tangents to the fiber manifolds.
