\textit{H. R. Farran} and \textit{S. A. Robertson} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 35, 527--538 (1987; Zbl 0623.53022)] introduced the notion of parallel immersions in an \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(E^n\) and \textit{F. J. Carveiro de Carvalo} and \textit{B. Wegner} [Period. Math. Hung. 40, No.~1, 1--11 (2000; Zbl 0968.53040) defined the notion of a diametrical submanifold with respect to a point (center) \(P\in E^n\). Let \(H\) be a connected boundaryless \(m\)-dimensional manifold. In a previous paper I. F. Mersal and M. E. Basher called super parallel immersions in \(E^n\) two immersions \(f_i: H\to E^n\), \(i= 1,2\), if the affine normal spaces are homothetic at corresponding points. In this paper the authors prove that if \(M_1\), \(M_2\) are two immersed parallel submanifolds and \(M_1\) is diametrical with respect to a center \(P\in E^n\), then, under suitable conditions, \(M_2\) is also diametrical with respect to \(P\). Then, they obtain a similar proposition in the case \(M_1\), \(M_2\) are super parallel submanifolds and \(M_1\) is diametrical with respect to a center and find relations between the centers of \(M_1\), \(M_2\).
