The algebraic sum of all individuals... [price compensating variations] regarded as consumers and suppliers of factors, is therefore approximately represented by the area between the demand curve and the corrected supply curve. Crude as this area is as an index of net gain in welfare arising from the introduction of X when all other goods are produced at constant costs, we are required by the Samuelson criterion to measure this social surplus for all conceivable welfare distributions. 2, record 1, English, - social%20surplus

On the left, a standard measure of gyro sensitivity is used : the factor by which the Earth rotation effect is greater than that from quantum(photon) noise over one hour. This is a big factor(the graph is coloured relatively "hot"), and on that basis the results we obtained at Cashmere from the C-II gyro indicate that on this criterion it is more sensitive than all others, such a reported atomic gyros. Note that the perimeter is important, and the mirror finesse also, though less so. 3, record 4, English, - gyro%27s%20perimeter
