Abstract
A concise form of the Kinnersley-Chitre five-parameter metric for a spinning mass is obtained by exploiting a remarkable similarity between the metric's factor structure and the analogous structure of the Tomimatsu-Sato solutions with even distortion parameter delta. The corresponding general subfamily of asymptotically flat spacetimes containing four arbitrary real parameters is considered, and all configurations describing two extreme Kerr sources separated by a strut are identified and briefly discussed.
