Abstract
Some reasons are given to suggest that the interpretation of the Lorentz' transformations as if they referred to coordinates instead of to intervals could be incorrect. Besides, the usual form of such transformations, by using variables that represent finite values instead of differentials, could be another error. Later it is shown that the Lorentz contraction factor must not have the form currently accepted for it if the Lorentz contraction factor is assumed to be equal to the quotient between time differentials.
This is a slightly different version from the one presented at the NPA meeting at U. of Connecticut, Storrs, "On Lorentz Transformation". Contents changed (Arxiv moderators recommended merging with other paper).
