[For the entire collection see Zbl 0724.00015.] Let \(S\) be an immersed submanifold of a differentiable manifold \(N\) and let \(f: M\rightarrow N\) be an arbitrary differentiable map from an arbitrary connected manifold \(M\) into \(N\) and \(\xi=(\xi_ p)_{p\in M}\) a differentiable family of linear subspaces \(\xi_ p\subset T_{f(p)}N\) with the additional property \(f_ *T_ pM\subset\xi_ p\). \(\xi\) is called a strip in \(N\) (with core \(f\)). The purpose of the article is to describe conditions, which guarantee that a given strip \(\xi\) in \(N\) with core \(f\) is also a strip in a given submanifold \(S\), i.e. \(f\) is a differentiable map also into \(S\) and \(\xi_ p\subset T_{f(p)}S\) for all \(p\in M\).
