Abstract
The principle of relativity applied to purely length-time considerations is shown to lead rigorously to either the Lorentz or the Galilean transformations, but to no other. No reference is made to properties of light or of mass. The derivation itself leads to the appearance of an invariant and ultimate speed k as a constant of integration.Keywords
