Abstract
One of the disconcerting things about the breadth of Feza Gürsey’s knowledge of physics is his skill in recognizing some apparently “new” idea as a restatement or reworking of concepts that are well known, at least to him. And so it was about ten years ago when I showed him some work I was doing using the representation to be described in this paper. At that time the application was in connection with the behavior of the S matrix in the infinite momentum frame (a topic more in vogue then than now). He immediately spotted my procedure as the Radon transformation.
