Abstract
This paper deals with an alternative and, it is believed, superior method of indicating the functions of the Eötvös torsion balance, and of calculating those quantities, depending upon the distortion of the earth's gravitational field, which the balance measures. Remarks are also made on the representation of these quantities - the so-called gravity-gradient and horizontal directive tendency - and a convenient method is indicated of applying graphically the necessary corrections for the effects of earth's rotation and irregularity of the surface of the ground.
