Text: "Re-examination of the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment." Data published by Michelson showed large systematic trends, but did not explain how these trends were removed in analysis. New analysis confirms the original null conclusion. Michelson and Morley appear to have reduced the monotonic trends evident in their data by deliberately subtracting an ether drift. Miller himself bears this out (D.C. Miller, Rev. Mod. Phys. 5, 203(1933). American Journal of Physics. 50(11), Nov. 1982. p. 987-990.
