The equation \(x'(t) = - \mu x(t) + f(x(t-1))\), with \(\mu \geq 0\) and \(xf(x) \le 0\) for \(0\neq x\in {\mathbb R}\), is a prototype for delayed negative feedback combined with friction. Its semiflow on \(C=C([-1,0],{\mathbb R})\) leaves a set \(S\) invariant, which also plays a major role for the dynamics on the full space \(C\). The main result determines the attractor of the semiflow restricted to the closure of \(S\) for monotone, bounded, smooth \(f\). In the course of the proof, Walther derives Poincaré-Bendixson theorems for differential-delay equations. The method used here is unique in its use of winding numbers and homotopies in nonconvex sets.
