Abstract

The Plebanski and Stachel and Goenner and Stachel lists of metrics which are solutions of Einstein's field equations, have two double eigenvalues and admit 3-parameter groups of isometries with 2-dimensional spacelike orbits are completed by the addition of metrics which result from the use of a more general metric form.
