- Author: Bradley :: Year Vol (No) Month (or Chapter/Auction item): 38 vol 7 abridged version :: Pages: 649
- Comments and/or Abstract > record of experiments using a clock built by Graham to measure
the error between London and Jamaica. Clock was insensitive to driving weight and constructed so that pendulum could be removed and
replaced with little error

(10229) A new Absolute Determination of the Acceleration due to Gravity at the National Physical Laboratory, England
- Author: Cook A. H. :: 1967 vol 261 pages 211 - 252 Year Vol (No) Month (or Chapter/Auction item): :: Pages: 211 - 252
- Comments and/or Abstract > A new absolute determination of the acceleration due to gravity has been made by timing the free motion of a body moving under the attraction of gravity. The moving body is a glass sphere that was timed at its passage across two horizontal planes they the flashes of light it produced when it passed two horizontal slits.
