We prove that the dynamical system generated by a primitive unimodular subs
titution of the Pisot type on d letters satisfying a combinatorial conditio
n which is easy to check, is measurably isomorphic to a domain `exchange in
Rd-1, and is a finite extension of a translation on the torus Td-1. I, the
course of the proof, we introduce some potentially useful notions: the lin
ear maps associated to a substitution and their dual maps, and the sigma -s
tructure for a dynamical system with respect to a pair of partitions.
