That is one possible explanation. I wonder why dave's inquisitive mind did
not prompt him to put the *counter* upside down to see if the effect
appears, something any self respecting experiments would have tried imho ;)
Brooke's experiment at least shows all 4 possible roll positions (without
squishing connectors on the small ends of the unit) and a reasonable return
to the pre-experiment status of the Rb standard's XO, once places right sid=
e
up again. Brooke's measured deviation for 2g "inversion" is ~3*1e-12 which
is probably very credible for an xtal not designed to avoid such deviation
in the first place.
