A Lorenz-invariant treatment of the second order DOPPLER effect in rotational motions is given. The calculation is then performed in a generally covariant manner. Experimental consequences concerning the mechanical stability of clocks are discussed, and attention is drawn to a possible refinement of the rotational experiments.
