TWISTOR DESCRIPTION OF THE SYMMETRIES OF EINSTEIN EQUATIONS FOR STATIONARY AXISYMMETRICAL SPACETIMES

It is shown that the 'hidden symmetries' of the reduced Einstein equations investigated by Kinnersley and others have a simple description in terms of Ward's twistor construction of stationary axisymmetric vacuum spacetimes.
