In his paper (3) on finite H-planes, Kleinfeld has defined invariants s and t for an H-plane π as follows: let P and k be any point and line of π such that P is incident with k, then let s be the number of non-neighbour points to P on k and let t be the number of neighbour points to P on k. He has shown that s and t are independent of the choice of P and k, t divides s, π has s2 + st + t2 points (lines), π* has order s/t, and, if t ≠ 1, st2. In the case s = t2, π is called uniform and has the property that each pair of neighbour lines (points) has exactly t points (lines) in common.
