Reader’s notes
p. 182. Nine columns: stub plus four two-column panels (All R, RC, RM, RD), each with "Number of cases" and "Percent of cases closed". Decimal points: in this 1-bit scan the period drops out of most percent cells, which print as e.g. "51 7", "100 0", "22 9", "3 9", "20 1". Only a few retain a visible point ("100.0" under RC and RD, "22.7"). Since the percent columns carry one decimal place throughout, I transcribed every percent cell with the decimal point (51.7, 100.0, etc.) rather than reproducing the dropped-out character as a space. No digits were altered. Arithmetic check (not applied to the cells, only for verification): each panel's four stage rows sum exactly to its printed total — 8,070 / 7,093 / 602 / 375 — and every printed percent matches its number-of-cases ratio, so no misprint is suspected. "All R cases" carries no footnote marker; RC, RM and RD each carry a raised 1.
