This paper deals with systems of pairwise equal and parallel cones in the affine n-space En, i.e. cones of a system are obtained one from another by means of translations. This subject is closely connected with the geometrical interpretation of the theory of relativity, so one may say that it belongs to “elementary chronogeometry.” The term “chronogeometry,” which is due, it seems, to A. D. Fokker, means the relativistic theory of space-time.
