Furthermore, we find that this problem can be reduced to the solution of geodesic triangles in a Minkowskian cylinder. A relationship between the problems established on the cylinder and on the Minkowskian plane is obtained through a local isometry.LaTeX, 13 pages, 3 eps figures; typos corrected, added references, minor changes; to appear in "Relativity in Rotating Frames", ed.
