==Abstract==

Transformations of space and time depending on a synchronisation parameter, e<sub>1</sub>, indicate the existence of a privileged inertial system S<sub>0</sub>. The Lorentz transformations are obtained for a particular e<sub>1</sub> different from zero. No classical experiment on inertial frames depends on the choice of e<sub>1</sub>, but if accelerations are considered only e<sub>1</sub> = 0 remains possible. The choice e<sub>1</sub> = 0 provides a rational resolution of the long standing mystery connected with the relativistic interpretation of Sagnac effect.
