The spin-rotation parameters [ital A] and [ital R] and the related spin-rotation angle [beta] have been measured for [pi][sup +][ital p] and [pi][sup [minus]][ital p] elastic scattering using protons polarized in the scattering plane. The pion-beam momenta are 427, 471, 547, 625, and 657 MeV/[ital c] and the angular range is [minus]0.9[le]cos[ital FTHETA][sub c.m.][le]0.3. The scattered pion and recoil proton were detected in coincidence, using a scintillator hodoscope for the pions, and the Large Acceptance Spectrometer combined with the JANUS polarimeter for the recoil protons. The results are compared with the four recent [pi][ital N] partial wave analyses (PWA's). Our data show that the major features of these PWA's are correct. The [ital A] and [ital R] measurements complete our program of pion-nucleon experiments, providing full data sets at three of the above beam momenta. Such sets can be used to test the constraints in the PWA's or to obtain a model-independent set of [pi][ital N] scattering amplitudes.
