This paper considers a single-product industries, fixed capital model discussed briefly by Sraffa in Chaapter X if his book. The analysis is elementary, being based on the direct calculation of a certain martrix inverse. This generalises the approach adopted for circulating capital models. It also demonstrates that common economic and mathematical frameworks exist for both circulating and fixed capital models.
