One of the major problems in understanding solutions of the gravitational field equations is to determine the physical meaning of the coordinates involved. In particular, for the Weyl solutions if the standard coordinate descriptions are used, then physical interpretation becomes difficult. A means of interpreting the Weyl coordinates for static axially symmetric metrics is presented which allows a reasonable physical interpretation of any given Weyl metric.
