§ 1. In the transformation corresponding to constant acceleration, and in the resulting quadratic form, there is an arbitrary constant. In Einstein's formula for central acceleration a mass m defining the acceleration appears, but no arbitrary constant. In seeking to account for, or to repair, the deficiency I retained all constants naturally arising in the integration of the differential equations, and it then appeared that the result could be obtained by transformation. It will be convenient to state the transformation at the outset, and then to examine the differential equations with a view to a clear understanding of the assumptions made in reaching the more general result.
