Pugh–Schiff precession

This article needs attention from an expert in Physics. The specific problem is: What is correct name and is it distinct from Lense–Thirring precession or a special case of it. WikiProject Physics may be able to help recruit an expert. (May 2011)

Pugh–Schiff precession or spin–spin precession is the Lense-Thirring precession of an orbiting spinning vector.[1] Caused by the general relativity effect of frame-dragging on a gyroscope orbiting a spinning body.

Schiff precession is the usual name for this effect.[2][3]
