Abstract
This paper presents an overview of torsion balance measurements carried out on the territory of Hungary, based on the technical reports, maps, and other documents stored in the Hungarian national geoarchive. Roland Eötvös’ torsion balance was mostly used for mineral exploration, but the data are also used for geodetic purposes. The latest report on torsion balance survey delivered to the Archive up to now was completed in 2009; it also set the aim of investigating geoid features.
