    The homotopy class of self-homeomorphisms of 1-dimensional solenoids and Knaster continua are described, and it is shown that the topological entropy is constant on each class. Moreover, the homeomorphisms in a class of positive entropy are shown to be semi-conjugate to an algebraic homeomorphism. The topological entropy is computed using fiber entropies and an extension of some of \textit{R. Bowen}'s entropy calculation [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 153, 401-414 (1971; Zbl 0212.29201)], avoiding the harmonic analysis and adelic covering of the approach by \textit{D. A. Lind} and the reviewer [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 8, No. 3, 411-419 (1988; Zbl 0634.22005)].
