I found the following references in Box, Hunter & Hunter's "Statistics
for Experimenters" (p. 398):

R.L Plackett, J.P Burman, 
"The design of optimum multifactorial experiments", 
Biometrika, 33 (1946), p. 305

G.E.P Box, K.B. Wilson,
"On the experimental attainment of optimum conditions",
Roy. Stat. Soc., Ser. B, 13 (1951), p. 1
