Popis:	In this article, we consider the optimal positioning of multiple servicing units along a coordinate line, under the assumption that demand for service occurs probabilistically at any point along the coordinate line. We show that, under very general circumstances, it is best for the servicing units to be stationary, and we provide an algorithm for finding these stationary positions.
