Abstract
The Fermi transport law is commonly used to construct "non-rotating" reference frames. The basis for this interpretation is the bouncing photon experiment ([1], p. 123), and the vanishing of the Coriolis acceleration ([4]). We use the latter property to construct a transport law for spatial axes along an observer's world line in theories of gravitation more general than Weyl's (and Einstein's). Insistence on a transport law built on the first property precludes any generalization beyond Weyl's.
