Abstract
The complex potential formulation of the axisymmetric problem discussed by Ernst enables us to construct new solutions from a given one, by multiplying the corresponding potential by a unit complex number. This rotation introduces naturally the NUT parameter in the metric. The generalized Kerr, Weyl, and Tomimatsu-Sato solutions are explicity constructed.
