    It is proved that a regular, connected ruled surface in \(S^ 3\) is of finite type if and only if it is an open part of a ruled minimal surface of \(S^ 3\) or an open part of a Riemannian product of two circles of different radii. This must be related to a result of \textit{T. Takahashi} [J. Math. Soc. Japan 18, 380-385 (1966; Zbl 0145.186)] which states that ruled minimal surfaces in \(S^ 3\) are of finite type.
