Carlo Maserati (1881 in Voghera – 1910) was an Italian bicycle and automotive engineer, the eldest of the Maserati Brothers.〔(100 Years of Maserati ) from maserati.org.au〕 His engineering career started in a bicycle factory in Affori, near Milan, where he developed a one-cylinder internal combustion engine for motorized bicycles. The engine went into production at Marquis Michele Carcano di Anzano del Parcos factory,〔(Motoring picture of Carcano and Carlo Maserati )〕 using a leather strap as transmission. Carlo was engaged as a racer of these bicycles, winning the Brescia-Orzinouvi (1899), Brescia-Cremona-Mantua-Verona-Brescia〔(1900 GP )〕 and Padova-Bovolenta (1900).〔(Diatto and the Maserati brothers )〕 Carcanos factory ended in 1901, and Carlo worked as test driver for Fiat (1901–1903), then as test driver and mechanic at Isotta-Fraschini (1903) where he was joined by brother Alfieri Maserati. He moved to work on automobiles for Bianchi (motorcycles) (1907), where he raced the Coppa Florio (7th) and the Kaiserpreis (9th), before becoming manager of the Junior car company (1908). At Junior, he hired his brother Ettore Maserati. Carlo died of tuberculosis (1910) and his brothers established Maserati in Bologna (1914). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlo Maserati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
