Left Column. Fifth line from the bottom and et seq.
Remark
Recent research carried by Donatella Biffignandi and Alessandro Silva has shown that Coda had already left Diatto in the Autumn of 1923.
This recent discovery implies that the construction and the development of the 8C 2-litre Grand Prix Diatto (1924/25) fell entirely on Alfieri Maserati.

6CM and 4CL Chapter - 6CM 1565, 4CL 1568 and 4CL 1570
Remark
Recent research carried by Adam Ferrington and Kevin Tjeerdsma has shown 4CL 1570 did not return from Argentina to Italy in early 1948 as had been previously thought. As a consequence, two of the Scuderia Milan and Scuderia Automobilistica Spagnola da Corsa cars which appeared in 1948 have now been differently identified. The appearances of 4CL 1568 have been changed to 6CM 1565 and the appearances of 4CL 1570 have been changed to 4CL 1568, as is shown below.
