| 1L10.30 | Cavendish balance | TPT 10(8),477 | A platform is used to decouple the Cavendish balance from the building vibrations. |
| 1L10.30 | Cavendish balance | 8-8.7 | Quite a bit of discussion about the Klinger KM 1115 gravitational torsion balance. |
| 1L10.30 | Cavendish balance | M-128 | Standard Cavendish experiment with lead balls and optical lever detection. |

| 1L10.33 | Cavendish balance - damping | AJP 34(2),xv | A small ball bearing attached to the bottom of the vane dips into a cup containing silicon oil. |
| 1L10.34 | Cavendish balance wire replacement | AJP 55(4),380 | Use amorphous metallic ribbon as a wire replacement which gives a higher spring constant and is more durable. |
| 1L10.35 | do-it-yourself Cavendish balance | AJP 33(11),963 | A simple Cavendish balance built by sophomore students. |
| 1L10.36 | modified torsion balance | AJP 57(5),417 | A very small suspension wire is used allowing the linear accelerations to be measured directly. |
| 1L10.41 | resonance Cavendish balance | AJP 51(10),913 | The Cavendish balance is driven into resonance by swinging the external mass. Suitable for corridor demonstration. |
| 1L10.42 | servo mechanism Cavendish balance | AJP 49(7),700 | Abstract from the apparatus competition. |
| 1L10.42 | servo mechanism Cavendish balance | AJP 51(4),367 | The torsion bar does not appreciably rotate. A simple electronic servomechanism is used to maintain rotational equilibrium as an external mass is introduced. The resulting servo correction voltage is proportional to the torque introduced by gravity. This effect can be observed in tens of seconds. |
| 1L10.43 | Cavendish balance compensation | AJP 54(11),1043 | Modify the Leybold Cavendish balance with a electromagnetic servosystem of damping that reduces the settling time to a few minutes. |
| 1L10.45 | automatic recording Cavendish | AJP 55(9),855 | The reflected laser light from the Cavendish balance falls on a two-element photodiode mounted on a strip chart recorder with appropriate electronics to keep the spot centered on the diode. |
