    The authors study topological properties of a canonical family of totally ordered groups, \(\Pi_\alpha,\) and their Dedekind completions \(\Pi_\alpha^{\#}.\) They show that \(\Pi_\alpha^{\#}\) is metrizable if and only if \(\Pi_\alpha\) is countable. In this way they answer a question due to Ochsenius and Schikhof.
