Extract

I think that some light may be thrown on a recent paper of Professor Whittaker's by giving concrete examples. The first example considered belongs to a transformation, which I gave some years ago, whereby a constant acceleration is incorporated in Einstein's form. Opportunity is taken to develop some features of the kinetic form of solution, in which all space coordinates are relative to a source, and the time of the latter is the only time appearing. This is carried as far as the treatment of energy.
