It was called a gravimeter, and it sat in a huge glass-and-wood cabinet like the ones you see at the Smithsonian or the British Museum.    From Wordnik.com.  [Terra Incognita]

The experiment does not yet yield a gravity measurement of great accuracy, but the researchers believe the technique could lead to a workable "gravimeter" small enough to use in navigation systems that depend on acceleration measurements.    From Wordnik.com.  [Physical Review Focus -] Reference

An experiment probing for anomalous vertical gravity on Earth, which has already been performed by us, uses the highest-resolution atomic gravimeter so far.    From Wordnik.com.  [arxiv Find: Atom interferometry tests of local Lorentz invariance] Reference

Using a sensitive gravimeter (as in reading microgals for use in geophysical exploration) one can take readings at several different heights above the floor.    From Wordnik.com.  [Think Progress » Bachmann claims Romney doesn’t believe RomneyCare was ‘a good thing for’ Massachusetts.] Reference

Interesting, woolchamois...i would surmise that if we accept that bsnyc/rtms's 'sense-o-meter' or 'ironigraph' as i call it, could be modified to go up to eleven 11, then perhaps in theory, it should be able to handle "less than zero" equations...the question then becomes "is it better to calibrate it on the 'melodic costello scale' or 'literar-ily sequential easton ellis' gravimeter.    From Wordnik.com.  [Too Much Irony, Too Little Time: The Elusive Nature of Bike Culture] Reference

In Prussia, Austria, France, England, America, in every city of every civilized nation, he would find the lever, the pulley, the mirror, the specific gravimeter, the geometric demonstration; he would trace the influence of his mind in the power-loom, the steam-engine, in the building of the Royal Exchange, in the Great Britain steam-ship; he would find an application of his well-known invention, the subject of a patent, an important auxiliary to navigation.    From Wordnik.com.  [Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, No. CCCXXXVI.
