The Weyl formalism for static, axially symmetric solutions to Einstein's equations is employed to examine solutions of Einstein's equations with toroidal topology. We investigate a particular family of solutions that contain the Schwarzschild, Curzon, Bach-Weyl, and \(\gamma\) metric (also known as the Zipoy-Voorhees metric) as special cases.
