Re: Standard Kilogram

"Uncle Al" <UncleAl0@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> pointed out a recent measurment
of G by Schlamminger et al,
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v89/i16/e161102
"Determination of the Gravitational Constant with a Beam Balance "
Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 161102 (2002)

Alas, as Ian Macmillan <iandmac@xxxxxxxxxx> pointed out, the PRL
web site
seems to require a paid
subscription for access.

For anyone else who's interested, Schlamminger's Ph.D thesis covers
a lot of similar material, and google scholar found this on the web at
http://faculty.washington.edu/schlammi/pdf/diss.pdf

Google scholar on "Schlamminger G measurement" also turns up a number
of other related papers...

ciao,
