Abstract. The height of the centre of mass above the base of a 1 kg artefact can be located easily within a precision of several micrometres using a simple 'weighbridge'. Analysis of the device, its realization and performance are presented. The method has applications in high-precision mass metrology and certain gravitational experiments.
