TLDR
In this article, an experiment was proposed for measuring the earth's gravitomagnetic field by monitoring its effect on the plane of swing of a Foucault pendulum at the south pole ("dragging of inertial frames by earth's rotation").Abstract:
An experiment is proposed for measuring the earth's gravitomagnetic field by monitoring its effect on the plane of swing of a Foucault pendulum at the south pole ("dragging of inertial frames by earth's rotation"). With great effort a 10% experiment in a measurement time of several months might be achieved.read more

Ring-laser tests of fundamental physics and geophysics
TL;DR: In this article, the capability of ring-laser gyros for measurements of geodesic interest, including seismometry and earth tides, and for detection of other sources of non-reciprocal refractive indices, including axions and CP violation, are discussed.

The Many Faces of Gravitoelectromagnetism
TL;DR: In this paper, the numerous ways of introducing spatial gravitational forces are fit together in a single framework enabling their interrelationships to be clarified, and the framework is then used to treat the acceleration equals force equation and gyroscope precession, both of which are then discussed in the post-Newtonian approximation, followed by a brief examination of the Einstein equations themselves.

On the detectability of the Lense–Thirring field from rotating laboratory masses using ring laser gyroscope interferometers
TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of detecting the Lense-Thirring field generated by the rotating earth (also rotating laboratory masses) is reassessed in view of recent dramatic advances in the technology of ring laser gyroscopes.
