In 1958 an extremely precise geodetic gravity meter became available for use by the authors. This meter was checked against two North American calibration ranges and has been used to establish some geodetic gravity values in the western United States and a short calibration range in southern California. Some submarine gravity meter measurements in the northeastern Pacific Ocean are also given.The LaCoste‐Romberg geodetic meter DL‐1. This meter is a large double‐lever geodetic meter with factors of approximately 1 and 0.1 mgal/ turn on the large and small measuring dials.1The large dial has a worldwide range and the small dial a range of about 220 mgal. Readings at a single station are reproducible to about 0.01 mgal. The drift rate early in 1958 was closely linear and about 1 mgal/month in magnitude. It has since decreased steadily to a negligibly small
