Here's another variant. I can't see Beck's name on it, but the schematic
map is certainly in his style:

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

Moholy-Nagy, draws on the pioneering information design work of Harry Beck and his
London subway maps"

Hmm. "draws on" - spelt p-l-a-g .....

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.
