The paper is devoted on Tricomi's work on polynomials. \textit{F. G. Tricomi} [J. Anal. Math. 1, 209-231 (1951; Zbl 0045.34501)] introduced the following class of polynomials: \(\ell_n^{(\alpha)}(x)=(-1)^nL_n^{(x-\alpha-m)} (x)={(\alpha-x)_n \over n!}{_1F_1} (-n;x+1-\alpha- n;x)\) and \(\ell_n^{(0)} (x)= \ell_n(x)\). Section 2 of this paper contains some of the results given in Tricomi's paper while section 3 contains transformation and orthogonality relation of these polynomials given by \textit{L. Carlitz} [Boll. Un. Mat. Ital., III. Ser, 13, 58-64 (1958; Zbl 0081.06601)]. This orthogonality relation helps in explaining some of Tricomi's results. The connection with earlier results of Pollaczek, Szegö and Selliah was pointed out and extended by \textit{R. Askey} and \textit{M. E. Ismail} [Mem. Am. Math. 300, 108 p. (1984; Zbl 0548.33001)]. Other results of a related nature have been found by Ismail and various coworkers. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0948.00034].
