Theory of Sets, chapter II, § 5. Product of a family of sets

Suppose that L≠∅L \neq \emptyset and that Jλ≠∅J_\lambda \neq \emptyset for each λ∈L\lambda \in L. If for e achindex λ∈L\lambda \in L the family (Xλ,ι)ι∈Jλ(X_{\lambda, \iota})_{\iota \in J_\lambda} is a partition of Xλ=⋃ι∈JλXλ,ιX_\lambda = \bigcup_{\iota \in J_\lambda} X_{\lambda, \iota}, then the family (∏λ∈LXλ,f(λ))f∈I\left( \prod_{\lambda \in L} X_{\lambda, f(\lambda)} \right)_{f \in I} is a partition of ∏λ∈LXλ\prod_{\lambda \in L} X_\lambda.

If we set

Pf=∏λ∈LXλ,f(λ),\mathrm{P}_f = \prod_{\lambda \in L} X_{\lambda, f(\lambda)},

then, by virtue of the first formula of Proposition 9, it is sufficient to show that Pf≠∅\mathrm{P}_f \neq \emptyset for all f∈If \in I and that Pf∩Pg=∅\mathrm{P}_f \cap \mathrm{P}_g = \emptyset whenever ff and gg are distinct elements of I. The first point follows from Proposition 5, Corollary 2. As to the second, if f≠gf \neq g, there exists λ∈L\lambda \in L such that

f(λ)≠g(λ)f(\lambda) \neq g(\lambda)

and therefore, by virtue of the hypothesis, Xλ,f(λ)∩Xλ,g(λ)=∅X_{\lambda, f(\lambda)} \cap X_{\lambda, g(\lambda)} = \emptyset. It follows that there is no graph belonging to Pf∩Pg\mathrm{P}_f \cap \mathrm{P}_g; for if G were such a graph, we would have G(λ)∈Xλ,f(λ)∩Xλ,g(λ)=∅\mathrm{G}(\lambda) \in X_{\lambda, f(\lambda)} \cap X_{\lambda, g(\lambda)} = \emptyset, which is absurd.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
