Scientific paper

Some historical documents, especially the Einstein-Besso manuscript from 1913, an extensive notebook by Thirring from 1917, and a correspondence between Thirring and Einstein from 1917 reveal that most of the credit for the so-called Lense-Thirring effect belongs to Einstein. I also comment on the later history of the problem of a correct centrifugal force inside a rotating mass shell which was resolved only relatively recently.
