constructed by the gradual manual rearrangement of 40 320 square tiles, 64 for
each constituency. The thicker lines on the maps are county boundaries. The
cartogram was used by the Times again to show the result of the next general
election (Hollingsworth 1966) but it was not used again after that, although it
has been reproduced in numerous publications, most notably in an article by
the Ordnance Survey where it was used to show how much progress had
been made in land registration.(Sweeney & Simpson, 1967). Interest in
cartograms in at least both Britain and America tends to surge around the
time of national elections (particularly when urban based parties win and also
just after population censuses have been taken).
