1. A Worden gravity meter has been tested for sinusoidal variations in the external temperature, by determining simultaneously the corresponding variations of temperature inside the Dewar vacuum bottle, and the variations in the readings. A second Worden gravimeter has been tested for rapid variations in external pressure.
