Gravitational Experiments in the Laboratory

"Recent years have seen great interest in exploring universal gravitation, both by astronomical and geophysical observations and by experiments in terrestrial laboratories. This book is about laboratory experiments, the reasons for doing them and the difficulties they present." "The book will be of value to graduate students, research workers and teachers engaged in any precise measurements or in theoretical or experimental studies of gravitation, who wish to understand the problems of laboratory experiments in this and similarly demanding fields."--BOOK JACKET.
