is it correct to state that all the clocks of a given inertial reference frame, synchronized in accordance with Einstein's synchronization procedure display the same running time? Do you know other synchronization procedures which lead to the same result?

In my efforts to explain relativity to engineers, I have suggested a clock synchronization method in a download available from the following web page:

Look and read around figure 2.2 in the pdf.
 
Hi Bernhard -


These interesting and subtle questions usually means there's a paper in the works! Please provide a link!
