The Title of Albert Einstein's 1905 paper "Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" actually means...a torpedo moving underwater. 


"..it seems to be desirable to have a device which automatically brings to explosion a torpedo passing/moving below a ship at the right moment.
I have an idea for an ("Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies") electro-magnetic device for this purpose which I would like to submit to you for your judgement." -#AlbertEinstein


"Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" is in fact...an electro-magnetic device... a torpedo.


 "I am now working on a problem involving the synchronization of torpedoes with a 'moving target'...It's not very interesting work, but it pays the bills." Albert Einstein, 1915




Do you suppose to synchronization Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies Albert Einstein will  use a ...clock?

If at the points A and B of K there are stationary clocks which, viewed in the stationary system, are synchronous; and if the clock at A is moved with the velocity v along the line AB to B, then on its arrival at B the two clocks no longer synchronize, but the clock moved from A to B lags behind the other which has remained at B by tv^2/2c^2 (up to magnitudes of fourth and
