  We extend the induced matter model, previously applied to a variety of
isotropic cases, to a generalization of Bianchi type-I anisotropic cosmologies.
The induced matter model is a 5D Kaluza-Klein approach in which assumptions of
compactness are relaxed for the fifth coordinate, leading to extra geometric
terms. One interpretation of these extra terms is to identify them as an
``induced matter'' contribution to the stress-energy tensor. In similar spirit,
we construct a five dimensional metric in which the spatial slices possess
Bianchi type-I geometry. We find a set of solutions for the five dimensional
Einstein equations, and determine the pressure and density of induced matter.
We comment on the long-term dynamics of the model, showing that the assumption
of positive density leads to the contraction over time of the fifth scale
factor.
