Instrument Information

Identifier: Lacoste and Romberg G Relative Gravimeter
Instrument / Gear: Instrument
Instrument Type: Gravity Meter
Description:

The Lacoste and Romberg Model G gravity meter has been a mainstay of exploration for many years. Recent improvements greatly increased the production rate and ease of use. The Aliod modification changes the mode of acquisition to a digital read-out and/or logging of the gravity measurement. Because there is no longer necessity to read through the eye-piece, the accuracy and repeatability of the instrument are much less subjective.
