Abstract: Consider the projective variety $X_{l}ambda$ of binary forms of degree $d$ whose linear factors are distributed according to the partition $lambda$ of $d$. We determine minimal sets of local generators of the fiber product of $X_{l}ambda$ with its normalization, and we show that the local Jacobian matrices of this product contain the product of the identity matrix of maximal rank with a unit. We use this to fill a gap in a crucial proof in Chipalkatti's "On equations defining Coincident Root Loci". Also, we give a new description of the singular locus of $X_{l}ambda$ and a criterion for the smoothness of $X_{l}ambda$.
