Found [web]: a Mossbauer ultracentrifuge search for a preferred frame or classical aether; limit "2.0 +/- 5.2 cm/sec", described as "the most sensitive test". Ives is cited 8 times (corrected from 27 by QE); Google snippet: "Ives (1948) has examined the problem of measuring the velocity of light, in an inertial frame of reference moving with velocity V relative to the ..." (Ives's one-way light-speed paper, JOSA 38:879).

Bearing: an experimental search for Ives's preferred frame in the Ruderfer line of Mossbauer rotor tests (related work and test record, priorities 2-3). The thesis's discussion of Ives 1948 is a lead for the reviewers.
