I think you are referring to Townsend Browns reports. The Brown
experiment as I recall it did not establish that gravitation was a
constant, it simply showed that different elements or mineral compounds
RESPONDED differently to gravity.
You quoted from Davidsons paper;

I'll ask him about that and you can also, his email is rivas@theriver.com
I never noticed that before....it disputes everything I've ever read or
understood about gravity. It obviously has a gradient and gravity in
many areas of the earth differs...it is far from uniform.
I'll forward your email to Dan and see what he has to say about it.
