"The classical data of Michaelson and Morley on the speed of light"
Can you provide more information about the data? How were they obtained,
etc.? I do not have the book "Genstat Primer" and the nearest location
where
it is available is University of York which is rather far from my
location.
If you can't find the cited reference, I'd try Google. For instance, it
led me to this page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michelsonmorley-boxplot.svg
which appears to show five series.

Note that the data for the Michelson-Morley experiments [1] consist of 6
experiments of 17 runs each, not of 5 series of 20 runs each.
