Abstract
It is shown that every Kakutani equivalence class of ergodic measure preserving transformations of positive entropy containsK-automorphisms. Also, every ergodic flow of positive entropy can be time changed to become aK-flow and every ergodic automorphism of positive entropy is a cross-section of someK-flow.
