Given a strong deformation retract $M$ of an algebra $A$, there are several apparently distinct ways ([9],[19],[13],[24],[15],[18],[17]) of constructing a coderivation on the tensor coalgebra of $M$ in such a way that the resulting complex is quasi isomorphic to the classical (differential tor) [17] bar construction of $A$. We show that these methods are equivalent and are determined combinatorially by an inductive formula first given in a very special setting in [16]. Applications to de Rham theory and Massey products are given.

We show that a map of rational spaces (see Definition 1) induces a map of homology sections at each stage, and that the k'-invariants are mapped naturally. This is used to characterize rational spaces in which all (matric) Massey products vanish as wedges of rational spheres, and yields the precise Eckmann-Hilton dual of a result of M. Dyer [7]. Berstein's result on co-H spaces [3] is also deduced. These results form a part of the author's doctoral dissertation at Cornell University written under Professor I. Berstein, to whom I express my sincere thanks for his patient help and encouragement. Extensions and counterexamples will appear in a future paper.
