Relativistic length agony continued

Abstract

An attempt is made to remedy confusing treatments of some basic relativistic concepts and results in recent papers by Franklin (2010 Eur. J. Phys. 31 291-8) and by McGlynn and van Kampen (2008 Eur. J. Phys. 29 N63-N67). The authors' misconceptions are recurrent points in the literature.
