Hi again,
I have a later version of that paper, and again (as the title indicates)
the paper is about incorporating fixed capital into a Sraffian model.
It does not assume unequal periods of turnover of circulating capital
across industries, which is the problem I was referring to. The period
of turnover in all industries is referred to as a "year". (e.g. "After
the end of THE YEAR, the new machines leaves the process as a ONE-YEAR
OLD machine ...; emphasis added). This would be true in all
industries, with the same turnover period of one year.
So the conclusion that you jumped to ("Fred's comment seems plainly wrong")
itself seems mistaken.
Comradely,
Fred
