Abbreviations

Hi Kay,

Those are my own abbreviations, used because I began by keeping notes on 3x5 index cards (75mm x 125mm) and space was limited. As word-processors became available, and then computers, I maintained the abbreviations in my files for two reasons. I am not a quick typist and because data storage and computer memory was not so inexpensive as it is now. To answer your specific query:

AI = Auto Italiana (magazine)

AMS = Auto Moto Sport (magazine) ... if I had to guess, the photocopy I made at Museo dell'Auto - Torino which shows the photo of 920002 probably appeared in May, the month after the event.

AR6C2500 = Alfa Romeo 6C2500, 1993, by Angelo Tito Anselmi

Bertazzini neg. 369 is in my own collection

HK = Het Klaverblaadje (magazine)

L'AA 63/64 - L'Annata Automobilistica 63/64 by Giovanni Lurani & Gianni Marin

LLMM = Le Leggendarie Mille Miglia, 1986, by Alberto Redaelli

LSDMM = La Storia della Mille Miglia, 1979, by Giovanni Lurani

MM1947-57 = la libreria dell'Automobile magazine no. 1, 1997 which was titled "Mille Miglia 1947-1957" on the spine, Giorgio Nada Editore with Sorlini archive, Archivio Corrado Millanta & collezione Andrea Curami

OMM = Mille Miglia, 1990, by Luigi Orsini

PeG = Polvere e Gloria, 2000, by Gianni Cancellieri & Cesare De Agostini

RIAR6C2500 = Registro Internazionale Alfa Romeo 6C2500 (newsletter)

I will post again from another computer with a few sample images that may help you find some of the material. Oh, and I have just located the Siata image that you requested in an unrelated message. I will send it along.

All the best,
