Abstract
Abstract It is shown that if two clocks, previously synchronized by using the known velocity of any signals over the double journey between them, are used to measure the velocity of those signals over a single journey, the result will necessarily be that the velocity over a single journey is equal to that over a double one. It is also shown that when wave trains are employed for signals, and also that the standard length employed, depends on waves of the same kind as the signals, the result may be that the measured velocity of the waves is the same in every direction. If the dimensions of material bodies depend on a mechanism involving electromagnetic waves, and if the frequency of a moving clock alters according to the classical theory of Larmor and Lorentz, then measurements made in a physical system may be as required by the restricted theory of relativity. The possibility of measuring the velocity of light over a single journey is discussed, and an outline is given of a possible method.
