Of course Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric has discussed
the paper, and if Bjerknes has seen the original manus to
Annalen der Physik signed also Marita, it may mean any-
thing from proof-reading to original contribution. However,
Besso helped him. Last paragraph in the 1905 paper reads:

"Zum Schluss bemerke ich, dass mir beim Arbeiten an
dem hier behandelten Probleme mein Freund und Kollege
M. Besso treu zur Zeite stand und dass ich demselben manche
wertvolle Anregung verdanke.
    Bern, Juni 1905,
(Eingegangen 30. Juni 1905.)".

"A. Einstein, Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper,
Annalen der Physik, IV. Folge, 17. 1905, p 921".
