ErgographEdit

I found this while stub-sorting (in this shape)and am not sure it isn't built on a misunderstanding. Could someone have a look? The name suggests it's a graph showing work, not a seasonality thing, but ... PamD 05:30, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Looking at the sources used by googling their ISBNs and seeing previews on Googlebooks it seems clear that this article is misguided and has been so from the start. It's been copied around the internet, of course.

Also the file File:Weymouth Climatic Graph.png uses it in its caption, wrongly as far as I can see, and is used in a couple of articles.

Meanwhile the more common use of "ergograph" is as a device for measuring muscles. PamD 07:37, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

I've now done some work on the article and think it makes more sense and agrees with its sources, but a more expert statistical eye (or anyone with access to the untitled "Further reading" in "Institute of British Geographers (1950). Transactions and Papers — Institute of British Geographers. G. Philip (16–19): 2, 184", could still be useful, thanks. PamD 07:50, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
