Summary In the present note we express the ’natural’ covariant and contra‐variant moving frames in the actual gravity field of the Earth in terms of a ’normal’ and a ’disturbing’ part, the latter being expressed by the components of the deflection of the vertical and of the disturbing potential at P .
