Abstract

Ok, the pictures are genuinely awful :P but I think what's happened is there is no week 53 in 1682, that's week 1 and the currently labeled week 1 is the "missing" week 2. It's really hard to read, but that's the only thing that makes sense - it's a continuous run and week 2 isn't listed as missing in the metdata
