Ross described a number of beautiful experiments ...

These experiments are very interesting but they always and only concern
the motion of *tiny* masses in the gravitational field of *huge* masses
where the only gravitational field that acts is that of the larger
mass.
But there is not a single experiment that concerns the motion of two
bodies of compatible mass where both gravitational fields contribute to
the mutual acceleration.

a single experiment *described in Ross's talk at this meeting* which
concerns the motion of two bodies of comparable mass ...
