Reader’s notes

p. 178. Six printed columns: stub, "All cases", three columns under the spanner "Unfair labor practice cases" ("All C cases", "CA cases", "Other C cases"), and "Representation cases". The "CA cases" heading is set with a space between the letters (C A); transcribed as "CA cases". In the "Decisions and orders" row the raised 2 and raised 3 are printed before the figures ("2 210", "3 122"), so they are recorded as 210^2 and 122^3. The last five rows (Decisions and orders through Dismissals on record) are indented under "Decisions issued, total"; indentation is not preserved in the labels. Cells rendered "" hold only a dash/leader rule in the image (e.g. the CA column of "Notices of hearing issued", the Representation column of "Complaints issued", "Intermediate reports issued", "Decisions and orders" and "Decisions and consent orders", and the three unfair-labor-practice columns of the last three rows). All printed totals are internally consistent; no misprints noticed. Scan quality is good; the only slightly soft figures are the footnote markers, which are small but legible.
