Abstract
We revisit Lewis solution giving a mechanical interpretation to its field e quations. The structure of the equations that the metric coefficients satis fy can be associated to the motion of a classical particle in a central fie ld. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0022-2488(00)01708-4].
