Abstract
The height of the centre of mass above the base of a 1 kg artefact can be located easily within a precision of several micrometres using a s imple 'weighbridge'. Analysis of the device, its realization and perfo rmance are presented, The method has applications in high-precision ma ss metrology and certain gravitational experiments.
