Abstract
EDITOR'S COMMENT: The three following papers on plant size and location were submitted separately and independently. All authors were advised of the other manuscripts and encouraged to condense their papers for complementary presentation as Research Notes. I have deleted the introductory section of each paper and attempted to integrate their content as follows: Stollsteimer's 1963 article, A Working Model for Plant Numbers and Locations [JFE 45:631-645, Aug. 1963], offered a concept for determining minimum cost numbers, sizes, and locations of processing plants. It was a long-run simultaneous, computable, single-product model without provision in its framework for structural change. The following year King and Logan, in Optimum Location, Number and Size of Processing Plants with Raw Product and Final Product Shipments [JFE 46:94-108, Feb. 1964], presented a transhipment-based model that included both inand out-flows. Among other papers to follow, as noted by the several authors, the most recent to be presented in this Journal was that on Sensitivity Testing and the Plant Location Problem [AJAE 52:403-410, Aug. 1970].
