Hello, I'm studing the history of this phenomenon. Does someone has the original paper of A.G. Walker of 1932?
 
on Phys.org

Can you at least give us the title?
of course
A.G. Walker 1932, Relative coordinates, Proc. Roy. Soc. Eddynburgh, [itex]\mathbf{52}[/itex] 345--353
 
Unfortunately I've no access via my university account(s). The article by Fermi, which is in Italien, seems not to be available online:

Fermi, Enrico. "Sopra i fenomeni che avvengono in vicinanza di una linea oraria." Rend. Lincei, 1922, 31 (1), pp. 21-23, 51-52, 101-103 (in Itallian) 31 (1922): 21-23.
 
Go to Proceedings of royal society, volume 52 of 1932, page 345. You will find it there

Our university still has no access to this article :-(, but thanks for pointing it out again. For quick reference:

https://doi.org/10.1017/S0370164600019611

From Googling, "A.G. Walker 1932, Relative coordinates"
I got:
ERA is a digital repository of original research produced at The University of Edinburgh.
https://era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/34308
The theory of relative co-ordinates in Riemannian Geometry -
with a link to WalkerAG_1933redux.pdf (13.01Mb)
The third article (on page 21) in that PDF is "Relative Coordinates".

which points to ten articles by Fermi,
including
