Abstract

We present calculations of gyroscope precession in spacetimes described by Levi-Civita and Lewis metrics, under different circumstances. By doing so we are able to establish a link between the parameters of the metrics and observable quantities, thereby providing a physical interpretation for those parameters, without specifying the source of the field.
