To avoid the intricacies of pure joint production, it is usually assumed that machines cannot be transferred across industries. Salvadori, however, identified a case in which productive systems with transferable machines have the same properties as those with non‐transferable machines. We reinterpret Salvadori's condition and proceed to a comparative analysis of the two types of models, which explains why some properties still hold while others are lost.
