Washington Gravity May Replace Potsdam As Standard For Studies
The U S coast and geodetic survey seeks to replace Potsdam with Washington gravity as the national standard. Dr Paul S Heyl of the Bureau of Standards leads the pendulum weighing method to achieve precise gravity readings within two to three years. The project uses a brass pendulum in a vacuum case and will later switch to fused silica to reduce dimensional drift. Oil prospectors also rely on the gravity measurements in locating new deposits.
