In addition, a K-space with base $B$ is locally one-dimensional if and only if $R^{\land}=R$ in $V^{(B)}$. It seems to have been unknown so far whether there exist nondiscrete locally one-dimensional K-spaces. In the present note we give a positive answer to the question. As an auxiliary result, we establish that a K-space is locally one-dimensional if and only if its base is $\sigma$-distributive." }
