Abstract
The confusion which is made in certain location studies, between Weber's optimum and that the center of gravity, is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the two points are not identical, and that the center of gravity minimizes the squares of the distances. The cause of the confusion is shown. And two numerical examples show the necessity to differentiate the two points.
