443 of 445 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 4 cells break a sum: 'Total', column 2: prints 21,847, the subtotals in columns 3 to 10 add to 21,487; 'Professional, scientific, and ', column 2: prints 149, the subtotals in columns 3 to 10 add to 140; 'Manufacturing', column 2: prints 11,014, rows 'Ordnance and accesso' to 'Miscellaneous manufa' add to 11,023; 'Total', column 2: prints 21,847, the subtotals in rows 'Manufacturing' to 'Services' add to 21,487.

Reader’s notes

p. 199. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the table ends mid-way through the industry list (last visible row is "Nonmetallic mining and quarrying", a subgroup under "Mining"), so the remaining industry divisions and any footnote texts are on following page(s). Footnote markers 1 (stub heading "Industrial group") and 2 (columns CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CP, RC, RM, RD) are printed in the headings, but no footnote text appears within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Two cells do not reconcile with the rest of the grid and are transcribed exactly as they appear: (1) Row "Total", column "All cases": printed 21,847, but "All C cases" + "All R cases" = 11,357 + 10,130 = 21,487 (a digit transposition). Every component column of that row does check out (7,723+2,505+644+186+26+273 = 11,357 and 8,795+728+607 = 10,130). (2) Row "Professional, scientific, and controlling instruments", column "All cases": the glyph reads 149, but 84 + 56 = 140, and summing the 23 manufacturing detail rows in that column gives 11,014 (the printed "Manufacturing" subtotal) only if this cell is 140. The third digit is therefore doubtful: 0 damaged into an apparent 9 by the 1-bit scan is as likely as a genuine misprint. Everything else was cross-checked and is internally consistent: each of the 23 manufacturing detail rows satisfies CA+CB+CC+CD+CE+CP = All C and RC+RM+RD = All R, and every one of the 12 numeric columns sums down the 23 detail rows to the printed "Manufacturing" subtotal exactly (4,009 / 878 / 183 / 32 / 10 / 87 / 5,199 / 5,067 / 367 / 381 / 5,815), which pins each value to its printed column. Scan quality notes (no effect on the values transcribed): several figures are printed with a space after the digit-grouping comma ("21, 847", "5, 199", "11, 357"), and the comma in "8,795" and the first 8 of "5,815" are partly broken in the scan; both are confirmed by the column sums.

p. 200. The crop is the lower portion of a table continued from the preceding page: no column headings and no caption are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. Column count (13 = stub + 12 numeric) was taken from the vertical column rules; every body row carries a value in all 12 numeric columns, so no cell placement had to be inferred from alignment alone. Structure visible from the rules: the first four rows are industry lines closed by a double rule; "Transportation, communication, and other public utilities" is a group line set off above and below by double rules, and the six indented rows that follow (Local passenger transportation through Heat, light, power, water, and sanitary services) are its components; "Services" is the last line on the page and is followed by a double rule, so the table continues onto a further page. Internal arithmetic is consistent on every row as transcribed (column 2 = sum of columns 3-8; column 9 = sum of columns 10-12; column 1 = column 2 + column 9), which corroborates the digit readings; no printed total appears to be in error. In footnote 1 the punctuation after "Source" is not legible in the scan — it reads as a gap; I have rendered it as a colon, which is the usual form in this report series. The footnote markers themselves are small raised characters: the second one is degraded and reads as a mark resembling an apostrophe, but context ("See table 1, footnote 1") makes 2 the only sensible value. A stray ink speck sits in the "Other transportation" row between the columns holding 4 and 2 (columns 5 and 6); it is not a digit or a punctuation mark. "Finance, insurance, and real estate" and a few other labels show broken serifs from the scan, but all wording is legible.
