Tell me, Sirvent,

  On the other hand, if the mirrors are stationary with respect to the
  UNprimed coordinates, the reflection events occur at constant x, so the
  ratio of the time intervals is given by the derivative of t' with respect to
  t at constant x, which gives
  @t'/@t = 1/g.

why
@t/@t'  = @t'/@t = 1/g is a fumble on my part, and that g <> 1?
