  This is the first of several monographs to be devoted to the optics of
accelerated systems. They are being published for the benefit of those who may
wish to have another way of looking at kineoptical problems, and also to
demonstrate that the laws of optics are unwavering in their support of the view
that extragalactic redshifts need not be velocity doppler shifts nor
cosmological recession shifts. In the latter context the first few monographs
of the series may be viewed as providing a basis for the demonstration to be
given in a latter monograph.
