Irreducible representations of compact groups can be partitioned into three classes (character test +,0,−). This classification is the same for real, complex, and quaternionic representations and in all three cases a peculiar, type‐adapted form of the representation matrices may be chosen (t reps). In this paper it is shown how to construct t reps of semidirect products G s g starting with t reps of G and t reps of some covering groups of subgroups of g. The advantage of using t reps shows up in that the factor system of the little cogroups is real in two of three cases and that real, complex, and quaternionic representations are obtained simultaneously. The method is specialized to direct products and generalized to induction from normal subgroups.
