Abstract
I HAVE received several calculations similar to Dr. J. H. Fremlin's. To follow them through in detail is subtle and tedious, but it is unnecessary because it is at once obvious that since all the effects concerned are effects only of the relative motion of Stayathome and Traveller, and the motion of one is the mirror image of that of the other (for every stage of Traveller's motion, whether uniform or accelerated, there is an exactly corresponding stage of Stayathome's motion), there cannot possibly be any difference in the numbers of oscillations received.
