[1]The
lecture
provides
a
summary
of
the
nontechnical
parts
of Einstein 1913c
(Doc. 17).
As
stated
in
a
comment following
the
author's
abstract,
Marcel
Grossmann,
Edgar Meyer,
Aurel
Stodola,
Ernst
Zermelo, and W.
Schaufelberger participated
in the
subsequent
discussion. The
comment
concludes with
an
announcement
of Einstein's
departure
for
Berlin.

of Nordström's
theory,
which
