Abstract
The quantization of a massive spin one particle field, satisfying the first order system of equations due to Proca, is summarized. The interaction of such a field with an arbitrary field is then considered. Equivalent theories in terms of vector and antisymmetric second rank tensor spin one fields are then constructed in a simple manner, providing a generalization of an equivalence theorem due to the author. In addition, this approach, involving the use of first order systems of equations, allows a simple extension to the case of equivalence theorems for arbitrary integral spin. The nature of this extension is indicated.Keywords
