Abstract
RECENT values of the ratio e/m as measured physically by deflexion in a magnetic field and as measured by electrochemical deposition or erosion permit combination in such a way that errors arising from uncertainties in the acceleration, g, due to gravity may be eliminated1. Work now in progress at the National Bureau of Standards on the gyromagnetic ratio (loc. cit., pp. 168–69) will permit an even more fortunate elimination.
