A classical result of R.P. Dilworth states that every finite distributive lattice D can be represented as the congruence lattice of a finite lattice L. A sharper form was published in G. Grätzer and E.T. Schmidt in 1962, adding the requirement that all congruences in L be principal. Another variant, published in 1998 by the authors and E.T. Schmidt, constructs a planar semimodular lattice L. In this paper, we merge these two results: we construct L as a planar semimodular lattice in which all congruences are principal. This paper relies on the techniques developed by the authors and E.T. Schmidt in the 1998 paper.
