Reader’s notes
p. 110. Nine columns: the stub plus four two-column panels (All R, RC, RM, RD cases), each with "Number of cases" and "Percent of cases closed". Decimal points: in this scan the decimal point in the percent columns is faint and in several cells does not reproduce at all (e.g. the top row reads "100 0" under All R, RC and RD but "100.0" under RM; likewise "44 1", "43 0", "54 1", "52 8", "26 4", "26 6", "27 8", "22 1", "3 7", "3 6", "4 8", "3 9", "13 3"). Since every value in those columns is printed to one decimal place and the point survives clearly in some cells of the same columns ("100.0", "25.8", "26.8", "21.2"), I have transcribed all of them with the decimal point; the gap is a reproduction artifact, not a different printed form. All figures were cross-checked and are internally consistent: the four stage rows sum exactly to the total in every panel (9,909; 8,877; 543; 489), and each percent equals its number divided by the panel total, rounded to one decimal. No footnotes are printed under the table. A stray ink mark appears under the RM percent cell of the last row, below the rule; it is not a footnote marker.
