Desarguesian affine Hjelmslev planes (D.A.H. planes) were introduced by Klingenberg in [1] and generalized by Lane and Lorimer in [2]. D.A.H. planes are coordinatized by affine Hjelmslev rings (A.H. rings) which are local rings whose radicals are equal to their sets of two-sided zero divisors and whose principal right ideals are totally ordered. In [5], ordered D.A.H. planes were defined and the induced orderings of their A.H. rings were discussed. In this note an ordered non-Desarguesian A.H. plane is constructed from an arbitrary ordered D.A.H. plane. The existence of such planes ensures that the discussion of ordered non-Desarguesian A.H. planes by J. Laxton in [3] is meaningful. The basic idea employed is essentially the same as the one used in the construction of the classical Moulton plane from the real affine plane (cf. [4])
