By a Reidemeister plane we mean a projective plane having the property that every ternary ring coordinatizing it has associative addition. Finite Reidemeister planes have been investigated by Gleason (2), Liineburg (6), and Kegel and Luneburg (4). In the first paper, Gleason proved that if the order of the plane is a prime power, then it is Desarguesian. Luneburg showed that this is still true if the order is not 60. In the third paper, this last restriction is removed. For infinite planes, the only result is the following theorem due to Pickert (7, p. 301).
