Reader’s notes

p. 235. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the table continues past "Nonmetallic mining and quarrying" (the next industry divisions, e.g. construction/transportation/trade/services, are not on this image), and no footnote texts are visible, so `footnotes` is empty even though the headings carry markers 1 and 2. Doubtful cells and marker readings: - Total row, CE column: the figure is inked over and reads like "ʋ7"; I transcribed it as 57. This is supported by the row's own arithmetic (8,136+2,520+815+288+57+316 = 12,132, the printed All C cases figure). - Column-heading footnote markers: the raised digit after CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CP, RC, RM and RD is the same marker throughout, but the scan renders some of them (CD, CE, RC, RD) as what could be read as a 3 rather than a 2. I have written ^2 on all nine; if the underlying note numbering differs, it would differ for all of them together. - Small stray ink marks sit just above the Total row's CC (815) and CP (316) entries; they are scan artifacts / broken rule fragments, not digits or markers, and are not transcribed. - "Printing, publishing, and allied industries." is printed with a terminal period before the leader dots; kept as printed. "Stone, clay and glass products" is printed without a comma after "clay"; kept as printed. No internal inconsistencies were found: for every industry line and for the Manufacturing, Mining and Total lines, All C cases = CA+CB+CC+CD+CE+CP, All R cases = RC+RM+RD, and All cases = All C + All R; the 23 manufacturing detail lines sum to the printed 11,469, and the 4 mining detail lines to the printed 226. Nothing was computed into a cell — these checks were only used to confirm doubtful glyphs.

p. 236. This crop is a continuation page: no column headings are printed on it, so header_rows is empty. The body has 13 columns (stub + 12 value columns), confirmed by the vertical rules; the double vertical rules fall after value columns 1, 2 and 8, and double horizontal rules set off the "Transportation, communication, and other public utilities" block and the "Services" line. All values were cross-checked arithmetically and are internally consistent, which supports the column assignment and the digit reading: value col 1 = col 2 + col 9 for every row; col 2 = sum of cols 3-8 for every row; col 9 = col 10 + col 11 + col 12 for every row. No discrepancies found. Scan-quality points: the Wholesale trade figure in value column 8 is printed with a thickened 3 that can read as "80"; the row sum (422+57+40+3+1+30 = 553) confirms it is 30. Several 3s/8s and 5s/6s elsewhere are likewise bolded by the scan but are all confirmed by the same row sums. Footnote punctuation is faint or dropped by the scan: footnote 1 appears as "Source Standard" (a colon after "Source" is not legible), "U S Bureau" (periods after U and S not legible), and "Washington 1957" (no legible comma); it is transcribed with the characters visible. Both footnote markers are small raised numerals. The table caption, any "—Continued" line, the running head and the page number are outside the transcribed region or not present on this crop.
