If  you  had read Miller's address at the Mt. Wilson
conference:

  http://ether-wind.narod.ru/Conference_1927/Conference_1927.pdf

and his detailed 1933 report

  http://ether-wind.narod.ru/Miller_1933/Miller1933_ocr.pdf

telling about his experiments you  would  know  that
the effects of temperature and magnetostriction were
taken into account and exhaustively tested, e.g.:

  Before announcing such a result, it seemed  neces-
  sary  to  study  every  possible cause which might
  produce a displace- ment  of  fringes  similar  to
  that caused by ether- drift; among the causes sug-
  gested were radiant heat,  centrifugal  and  gyro-
  static   action,  irregular  gravitation  effects,
  yielding of the foundation, magnetic  polarization
  and  magnetostriction.   In   order  to  test  the
  first, the metal parts of the interferometer  were
  completely covered with cork about one inch thick,
  and fifty sets of observations consisting  of  273
  turns were made; there was a periodic displacement
  of the fringes,  as  in  the  first  observations,
  showing  that radiant heat is not the cause of the
  observed effect.

and that the strain on the interferometer  was  zero
while it flowed in its mercury pool.

Do  you  think  that  temperature oscillatons in the
room could be so rapid and  strong  as  to  cause  a
high-frequency noise in the heavy metal interferome-
ter?  I think not, becuase metal works as a heat ca-
pacitor,  or  a high-pass filter for temperature os-
cillations!

As to gravity, how much could it change  during  the
eightteen  minutes required one "data run"?  I doubt
it could produce high-frequency  noise  either,  be-
cause  it would chagne slowly and monotonously, just
like the temperature.
