Abstract
The basic special relativistic effects of length contraction, time dilation, and mass increase are all simply derived by examining the effect of motion on a number of electromagnetic clocks. The derivations are based on classical mechanics and electromagnetism plus the assumptions that there exists an ether and that any time dilation due to motion is the same for all electromagnetic clocks.
