I have found the two old measurements:
"In 1818 Arago found that the refraction of a prism for star light was the same for light incident in the direction of the earth's orbital velocity vs. as for that coming in the opposite direction. This unexpected null result was explained that same year by Fresnel's ether-dray theory, which assumed partial ether entrainment in transparent media by an amount depending upon the first power of v." From: http://www.3rd1000.com/chronoatoms.htm And: 2. Vogel, H. C., "On the spectrographic method of determining the velocity of stars in the line of sight", Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. 52, p.87, 1891 "The first result of any importance which the spectrographic method furnished was the proof of the influence of the Earth's motion on the displacement, which the earlier direct observations had failed to show with certainity.
