Worden gravimeter

A compact temperature-compensated gravity meter, in which a system is held in unstable equilibrium about an axis, so that an increase in the gravitational pull on a mass at the end of a weight arm causes a rotation opposed by a sensitive spring. The meter weighs 5 lb (2.25 kg) and has a sensitivity of less than 0.1 mgal.
