Abstract: The mapping torus of an endomorphism Phi of a group G is the HNN-extension G*_G with bonding maps the identity and Phi. We show that a mapping torus of an injective free group endomorphism has the property that its finitely generated subgroups are finitely presented and, moreover, these subgroups are of finite type.
