Reader’s notes
p. 115. Four columns: stub plus Number of cases, Percent of cases closed, Percent of cases on docket; one heading level.\n\nDecimal points: in this scan most decimal points in the two percent columns did not reproduce and appear as a gap (e.g. \"74 1\", \"100 0\"), while a minority printed clearly (\"0.6\", \"4.1\", \"11.0\", \"1.6\", \"5.3\", \"0.3\", \"1.2\"). These are one-decimal percentages throughout, so every such cell is transcribed with a decimal point. No digits were added or removed.\n\nThe cells reading \"(1)\" hold a raised footnote reference standing in place of a value (footnote 1, \"less than 0.1 percent\"); they are transcribed as \"(1)\" rather than with a caret because the marker is the whole cell content, not an attachment to a number.\n\n\"Cases on docket during the year\" has a dash rule in the Percent of cases closed column, transcribed as \"\".\n\nThe footnote line at the foot of the page reads \"Less than 0 1 percent\"; its leading superscript 1 is very faint/not clearly resolved in the crop, and any terminal period is not visible. I have supplied the marker \"1\" at the start, as required by the format, and read the figure as 0.1.\n\nSeveral row labels repeat under different sections (Adjusted, Recognition, Consent election and cross check, Withdrawn, Dismissed, Stipulated election and cross check, Ordered election, Prehearing election and Board decision, Without election); indentation levels in the original distinguish them but are not preserved in the grid.\n\nAll printed totals check out against their components: 3,877 = 238+3,571+68; 5,911 = 3,877+1,594+426+14; 74 = 2+65+7; 146 = 74+67+5; 77 = 4+73; 170 = 77+83+10; 1,268 = 351+27+875+14+1; 423 = 84+213+2+124; 1,754 = 1,268+423+61+2; 2,070 = 146+170+1,754; 7,981 = 5,911+2,070. No misprints suspected.\n\nStray ink specks appear next to some values (e.g. before \"34.5\" on the Consent election and cross check row, after \"25.9\", before \"67\", \"10\" and \"1,594\"); these are scanner artifacts and are not transcribed.
