Proof of $operatorname{Ran} A_e^T = operatorname{Ran} A^T$, where $operatorname{Ran}A^T$ is the range of...
$begingroup$
$newcommand{Ran}{operatorname{Ran}}$I am having trouble in understanding the following proof of $Ran A_e^T = Ran A^T$, where $A_e^T$ is echelon form of $A^T$, given in my book.
Proof :-
By the definition of echelon form, $A_e = E_{m times m} A_{mtimes n}$, where $E$ is the product of elementary matrices.
$$Ran(A_e^T) = Ran(A^T E^T) = A^T(Ran(E^T)) = A^T(Bbb R^m) = Ran(A^T)tag*{$Box$}$$
I know that for a linear tansfromation $T$ and a set of vectors $X$, $$T(X) := {mathbf y = T(mathbf x) : mathbf x in X }$$.
We can identity $A^T$ with the linear transformation $A^T : Bbb R^m to Bbb R^n$, so by definition $A^T(Bbb R^m) = Ran(A^T)$. Hence the last equality.
For the second equality from last, we use the fact that $E^T$ is invertible and therefore it is onto.
Is my reasoning correct for last and second from last equalities?
How did the author get second equality, $Ran(A^T E^T) = A^T(Ran(E^T))$ ? I don't think $Ran(AB) = A (Ran(B))$ is true.

If $text{Ran }A_e^T=text{Ran }A^T$ then I believe $A_e^T$ is not the echelon form of $A^T$, i.e. $(A^T)_e$ but is rather the transpose of $A_e$, i.e. $A_e^T=(A_e)^T$. This explains why we can have $A_e^T=(EA)^T=A^TE^T$.
Show $text{Ran}(A^TE^T)=A^Ttext{Ran }(E^T)$.
Note that any $i$-th column vector in $A^TE^T$ equals $A^T cdot mathbf{c}_i$ where $mathbf{c_i}$ is the column vector of $E^T$. Every vector in the column space of $A^TE^T$ can be written as a linear combination of column vectors of $A^TE^T$, which then follows that they can be written as $A^T$ times a vector in column space of $E^T$. This results $text{Ran }(A^TE^T)=A^T text{Ran }(E^T)$.
Since $E$ is invertible so $text{Ran } E^T=mathbf{R}^m$.
Show $A^T(mathbf{R}^m)=text{Ran }(A^T)$.
Similar to previous argument, every vector in column space of $A^T$ can be written as $A^T$ times a vector in $mathbf{R}^m$.
