Abstract
In the literature a belief is spreading that the static electrovac counterparts of the Tomimatsu-Sato solutions are known. However, as we show, the counterpart metrics have been obtained by means of a wrong method, and do not describe electrovac fields. In this paper we give the true static electrovac counterparts.
