Why we use τ-1 in constructing an acceptor for Lτ

Let GL be the transition relation of a generator for L and let AL be the transition relation of an acceptor for L. Then AL = GL-1. Clearly GLoτ is the transition relation of a generator for Lτ. Therefore (GLoτ)-1 is the transition relation of an acceptor for Lτ. But (GLoτ)-1 = (τ)-1oGL-1 = (τ)-1oAL.
