InSpace Time Matter, which was translated from the 4th edition, theEich-lnvarianz was called „calibration invariance.“ Previous papers which prepared gauge theory were: «Gravitation und Elektrizität» (1918), «Eine neue Erweiterung der Relativitätstheorie» (1919), and «Über die physikalischen Grundlagen der erweiterten Relativitätstheorie» (1921) repr; inGesam.
