ABSTRACT
This is the first of a three-part review of aether-drift and light Doppler experiments conducted from the early 1880s to the present day. Part 1 examines the controversy surrounding contradictory interpretations of Michelson-Morley-type experiments. In particular, it re-analyzes the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment and selected experiments by Miller. It concludes that none of the Michelson-Morley-type experiments conducted from 1881 to 1930 detected a significant aether drift.
