51. Equation (7.12) differs from the equation on p. 122 of Ref. 14, which was quoted from L. C. Biedenharn and J. D. Louck, The Racah-Wigner Algebra in Quantum Theory (Addison-Wesley, Reading, 1981), p. 408, Eq. (5.9.120), because Edmonds (Ref. 33) and Biedenharn and Louck use different conventions for the rotation of a system.
