Abstract
The Penning trap method of measuring the gravitational force on antipr otons and the stray potential values that can be tolerated using this measurement method are recalled. Then a high sensitivity vibrating pla te electrometer able to measure these stray potentials on large surfac es is described and the preliminary results follow.
