Popis: A result of Eckhoff implies that to every finite T(3)-family of pairwise disjoint copies of a closed disc of unit diameter there exists a strip of width 1 meeting all members of the family. Our goal is to generalize this result giving a stricter upper bound by proving that the narrowest transversal strip has width < 0.65.
