Abstract

An international connection of gravity was carried out by using a couple of LaCoste & Romberg gravimeters, G-29 and G-196, at Kyoto, Tokyo, Oahu-Honolulu, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Lima, Arequipa and Santiago. The gravity difference was of about 2.1 gals. After the data obtained were adjusted, correction factors for the scale constant of the gravimeters G-29 and G-196 given by the manufacturer were determined to be 1.000893 and 1.000526, respectively. The value of the correction factor for the gravimeter G-29 was slightly larger than that of another international gravimetric connection among Tokyo, Moscow, Potsdam and Paris which was performed by the Geographical Survey Institute. Using these correction factors, the gravity value at each measuring station was recalculated under the assumption that the mean value of gravity at all stations registered
