Throughout this paper G will denote a finite group containing a nilpotent maximal subgroup S and P will denote the Sylow 2-subgroup of S. The largest subgroup of S normal in G will be designated by core (S) and the largest solvable normal subgroup of G by rad(G). All other notation is standard.

Thompson [6] has shown that if P = 1 then G is solvable. Janko [3] then observed that G is solvable if P is abelian, a condition subsequently weakened by him [4] to the assumption that the class of P is ≦ 2 . Our purpose is to demonstrate the sufficiency of a still weaker assumption about P.
