This article presents hitherto unpublished correspondence of Struble in 1947 with Menger, Chandrasekhar, and eventually Einstein, about a possible observational test supporting Einstein's special relativity against Ritz's emission theory using binary stars. This `Struble effect,' an acceleration Doppler effect in emission theory, appears to have been overlooked, and the historical context, including de Sitter's binary star test of special relativity, is also discussed.
