Possible variation of the gravitational constant over the elements.We re-examine the theory and data of the Kreuzer experiment to measure the relative difference in the gravitational constant between two elements. Significant errors appear in the statistical analysis of Kreuzer which vitiate his conclusions. The upper bound for the relative difference of F and Br from his experimental data correctly becomes .02, about 10 times the limit already set on the general variation of the gravitational constant over the elements by direct use of a Cavendish balance.
