Smallest Number which is Sum of 4 Triples with Equal Products/Historical Note

Historical Note on Smallest Number which is Sum of 4 Triples with Equal Products
discusses this result in his of $1981$, and carries it forward into later editions.

In his of $2004$, the result is presented as:


 * It may be of interest to ask for the smallest sums or products with each multiplicity. For example, for $4$ triples, finds the smallest common sum to be $118$ ... and the smallest common product to be $25200$ ...

However, in the article cited by, which appears in for Feb. $1981$, in fact  does no such thing.

Instead, he raises the question for $5$ such triples.

, in his of $1997$, propagates this, accrediting the result to Mauldron, citing that same problem in.

It is also apparent that Mauldron is a misprint for .
