Presented in translation from the German is Arnold Sommerfeld’s paper “Über die Zusammensetzung der Geschwindigkeiten in der Relativtheorie”, Physikalische Zeitschrift 10 826 (1909), which retains its relevance a hundred years after its publication, as is discussed by G B Malykin, Usp. Fiz. Nauk 180 965 (2010) [Physics-Uspekhi 53 (9) 923 (2010)].

Arnold Sommerfeld’s article “Über die Zusammensetzung der Geschwindigkeiten in der Relativtheorie” was sent by the author in 1909 simultaneously to two journals with the goal of reaching a wider scientific community, in full agreement with the practice accepted at that time, and was published almost simultaneously in Physikalische Zeitschrift [10 826 (1909)] and Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft [11 557 (1909)].
