In [1; 2 ; 7] Gabriel, Goldman, and Silver have introduced the notion of a localization of a ring which generalizes the usual notion of a localization of a commutative ring at a prime. These rings may not be local in the sense of having a unique maximal ideal. If we are to obtain information about a ring R from one of its localizations, Qτ (R) say, it seems reasonable that Qτ(R) be a tractable ring. This, of course, is what Goldie, Jans, and Vinsonhaler [4; 3; 8] did in the special case for Q(R) the classical ring of quotients.
