In a sense this article continues research of \textit{J. F. Carlson} and \textit{A. Jones} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 39, No. 3, 467-479 (1989; Zbl 0677.20005)]. Let \(R\) be a complete, discrete, rank one valuation ring with prime element \(\pi\), and let \(G\) be a finite group satisfying \(|G|R=\pi^nR\). Let us recall that a lattice morphism \(\phi\colon L\to M\) has exponent \(\pi^a\) if \(a\) is the least exponent such that \(\pi^a\phi\) factors through a projective. The exponent of the lattice \(L\) is the exponent of \(1_M\). Finally, let us denote by \(\Omega L\) the Heller translate of \(L\), and, for an \(R/\pi^jR\)-module \(V\), let us denote by \(\Omega_j V\) the kernel of an essential epimorphism of a projective onto \(V\). Given a lattice \(M\) with exponent \(\pi^a\) the author considers the lattices \(B_j=\Omega_j(M/\pi^jM)\) and proves in the main result several useful properties of them. For example, that \(\exp B_j=\pi^j\). The final section contains three interesting facts obtained as applications of the main result.
