Note
The -ing form carries both of the verb's lives. Generally it means setting something out as a diagram, such as a circuit or a sequence of steps. In British railway usage it means scheduling locomotives to a working diagram. David Clough, writing in Rail in 2020, describes slow-speed control fitted to Class 37/7s "to permit diagramming on the coal circuits." In spelling, the final m of diagram doubles before -ing.
