You seem to discount other peoples measurements/experiments, so how about you clearly explain your methodology in measuring the angle on Sept 22.

The tripod used to mount the measuring device was on level ground. First the distance between the legs were equalized and the equilateral triangle formed was measured for a center and marked. Then a plumb line and target weight was hung from the center of the tripod and the height of the legs was adjusted until the weight centered over the marked middle of the triangle assuring a level platform.
