    In the paper under review, enveloping curves of non-null lines and the global properties of some special one-parameter Lorentzian motion are discussed. In the Lorentzian plane, Cauchy-length formulas for the envelope of a family non-null lines is given. As applications, Holditch-type theorems are also obtained.
