Stanford Gravity Wave Project

Abstract/Description:	Stanford Gravity Wave Project, circa 1978. This is Stanford's resonant mass gravity wave detector. The Weber bar was 6 tons of aluminum, cooled with liquid helium. Unlike the prototype detector, it used a mechanical suspension, rather than magnetic levitation. L-R: William Fairbank (seated), Mike McAshan, Steve Boughn (on top), James Hollenhorst, Robin Giffard, Brad Reese, Vladimir Braginsky (visiting).
