This paper sets out the inductive machinery which makes the computations of other numbers of this sequence useful. Representation theory is cast in the framework of wreath products which are then used to study the behavior of regular orbits and modules under various types of induction. Tensor induction is defined and studied along with the related concept of form primitivity. Let AG be a solvable group with normal subgroup G and nilpotent complement A where (\A\, \G\) = 1. Assume that A: is a
