Abstract
It is shown that screening of the ionic lattice by conduction electrons is insufficient to account for the zero acceleration found in the experiment of Witteborn and Fairbank on the free fall of electrons within a metallic shield. A speculative suggestion is made for reconciling this conclusion with the results of the centrifuge experiment of Beams and the uniform-compression experiment of Craig.Keywords
