We present the resugts of a quartz microbalance measurement of a ∼440 Å thick 4He film adsorbed on Au. This measurement confirms the resugt of an earlier capacitance measurement that showed a dip in the film thickness just below Ta due to the critical Casimir force. The magnitude of the dip in the two measurements agrees within 15% . In addition to the dip, we see a signal due to the onset of superfluidity...
