For 10 points, name this 1909 experiment which calculated the charge of the electron, performed by Robert Millikan.
In 1981, Allan Franklin recalculated the results of this experiment using data points which had originally not been published, obtaining similar results but with greater statistical error. This experiment involved using Stokes' law to calculate drag, which could only take place after terminal (*) velocity had been calculated. Its result departed from the correct value due to the use of an incorrect value for the viscosity of air. Harvey Fletcher was part of this experiment, which involved two parallel plates which produced an electric field to counteract the force of gravity so that the namesake substance could be suspended.
