The concept of length functions on groups was first introduced by Lyndon [1]. This was used to give direct proofs of many other results in combinatorial group theory. Further work was done by many others such as, Chiswell [2], [3], Hoare [4], [5], Wilkins [6], etc. The aim of the paper is to investigate the nature of some particular elements of the Quasi-HNN groups, namely the Archimedean elements N and M which are introduced in chapter two. Length functions are used to prove the connection between the elements of the Quasi-HNN group and to achieve certain objectives, such as M is a subset of N and identify the conjugates of each set.
