You might also point out that it travels at c+v wrt the source as viewed from
the lab frame.

Unfortunately Mosely's idea isn't sufficient to explain the Sagnac effect.
George Dishman and I looked into this thoroughly some time ago.

The two rays end up parallel but are displaced sideways. This should not in
itself cause a fringe shift because the wave fronts are broad. There IS a path
length diffference but it is considerably smaller than the claimed one.

I have found a better but fairly complicated explanation which I have yet to
analyse in detail.
Consider individual photons as resembling arrows.
If an arrow is fired from a moving vehicle towards a target 45 degrees to one
side, it must be aimed well to one side of the target if it is going to hit it.
As the arrow travels, it shaft is not aligned with its velocity vector (in the
ground frame). In fact, if the vehicle is traveling quickly enough, teh arrow's
shaft will be almost perpendicular to its travel direction.

Applying this to Sagnac means that the 'axes' of photons in each beam are
'twisted' in opposite directions.
If photons are many wavelengths long, each photon 'end' will strike the
(moving) mirrors at slightly different points, resulting in a reflection angle
that DOES NOT equal the incident angle as well as a path length difference.

combined with measurements of the muon lifetime at rest this becomes a

Observed results in MMx are as preditced by SR. Get used to it.

Sagnac does not refute SR

I think you need to look at Sagnac again

No, it doesn't. You still don't understand the explanation of the
Sagnac experiment. Dit you take the time to read and understand this
very good page:

http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s2-07/2-07.htm

It also talks about the cranks that keep saying that Sagnac implies
light propagating with c+-v :-)

The speed of light has been measured for moving sources. OW measurement is
tricky due to the syncing of clocks required to do it .. you need to make
assumptions about what it means for a pair of separated clocks to be in
sync.

Well.. that seems to be what you're suggesting. Its not my fault if you are
