Mackerras Pendulum → Mackerras pendulum –

Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is not a propriety or commercial term, so the item should be downcased. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles, such as Mackerras_federal_election_pendulum,_2006 and Post-election_pendulum_for_the_Queensland_state_election,_2012, among others. External sources for the downcasing abound (e.g. this), although some have clearly been influenced to upcase by this article: Tony (talk) 07:39, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. A quick search of Google news archives has almost unanimous agreement on this one, especially on older sources (like this and this). Pretty much a no-brainer. Frickeg (talk) 04:00, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update and pictures

Possibly could use update to a current situation, and why not - include more pendulums, or even a picture of it, considering that the Swingometer page already has a picture for it.

However, I am not sure of the rules on copyright around using images online, tables on wikipedia, or whether it would just be better to copy data over to DIY
