Using 1305 radial velocities, 2311 uvbyHβ photometric measurements, and 1621 Yale-San Juan SPM (Southern Proper Motion) absolute proper motions, peculiar velocities were derived to determine the galactic gravitational force K(z) perpendicular to the Galactic plane, first described by Oort (published in 1932).
