Yes, I came across that, apparent, plagiarism of Beck's efforts.

I think plagiarise implies copying something pretty much intact from one
work to another. This instance is simply very much "in the style of".

I don't doubt that you may well think that.

Dare you consult a dictionary, Roland?

This is overt plagiarism.

This is overt plagiarism.

"the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them
off as one's own" where 'draws on the pioneering information design work
of Harry Beck' comprehensively refutes that.

I notice that the DLR now show multiple routes on their map.

The first is from an online dictionary, the second from David Rumsey's

Try looking up "without acknowledgement".

A first requirement for plagiarism is an intention to
deceive.

Could you please explain how the schematic map which Harry Beck
devised for the London Underground differed in any substantial
way from the schematic circuit diagrams which he produced as a
draughtsman during the day ?

At a superficial level I'd say both consist of nodes either
components or stations so arranged such that they can be
connected by lines either at right angles or diagonally.

Clearly you must think there's something more, as similarly
you clearly don't think that Harry Beck simply plagiarised
the principles laid down by the un-named originators of the
first circuit diagrams.

As presumably you're prepared for these true pioneers of
schematic diagrams to remain unrecognised by posterity.
