Overlays were introduced by R. H. Fox [6] as a subclass of covering maps. We offer a different view of overlays: it resembles the definition of paracompact spaces via star refinements of open covers. One introduces covering structures for covering maps and p:XYp:X\to Y is an overlay if it has a covering structure that ha…
