Abstract

With the small dials of two Worden gravity meters, calibrated on the Italian ‘conventional’ basis, a comparison was completed in 1956 with the German pendulum stations.

The result shows a difference in the slope of −0·5%.

The stations in Germany of the European calibration line line have been checked.

Riassunto

Con due gravimetri Worden, tarati sulla base italiana, é stato completato nel 1956 il confronto con le misure pendolari dell'Istituto Geodetico di Potsdam, impiegando solo le viti piccole.

Ne é risultata una differenza sistematica di −0·5%.

Sono state pure occupate le stazioni facenti parte del tratto tedesco sulla base di taratura europea.
