Data on epochs of light-curve extrema show that 21 Lutetia, 216 Kleopatra, and 349 Dembowska have direct rotations while 63 Ausonia has a retrograde one. The sidereal rotation period is obtained for each asteroid. A method for the determination of the sense of rotation from light-curve observations in one opposition are described as well as the main requirements on the initial data.
