Problem 1.354

There are two groups of mutually synchronized clocks \(K\) and \(K^{\prime}\) moving relative to each other with a velocity \(v\) as shown in Fig. 1.92. The moment when the clock \(A^{\prime}\) gets opposite the clock \(A\) is taken for the beginning of the time count. Draw the approximate position of hands of all the clocks at this moment "in terms of the \(K\) clocks"; "in terms of the \(K^{\prime}\) clocks".
