Comment on a paper by R. Fürth, `Proposal for an experiment to test the simultaneity theorem of the special theory of relativity'

In a recent paper Furth has proposed an experiment in which he predicts that a positive result of first order in v/c will be observed, caused by the difference in local time of two observers in uniform relative motion. It is shown that, if the special theory is correct, the phenomenon predicted by Furth would not be observed.
