Size of Units in Collective-Bargaining and Decertification Elections, Fiscal Year 1963

p. 196. Structure: the table is printed as two sections stacked vertically (A above, B below), sharing one set of column headings that is printed only once, above section A. Section B repeats the same ten columns with no headings of its own. Both section subtitles ("A. COLLECTIVE-BARGAINING ELECTIONS", "B DECERTIFICATION ELECTIONS") are carried as label-only rows. Section B's subtitle shows no period after the "B", unlike "A."; a faint period may have been lost in the scan. Decimal points: this 1-bit scan drops a great many printed decimal points in the four percent columns — the Total rows, for instance, image as "100 0" and most data cells as "23 4", "21 6" and so on. Every cell in those columns is a one-decimal figure, so the points have been restored; the gap in the image is where the period sits. Lone-digit percent cells were treated the same way (section B row 90-99, Percent of total, images as a bare "4" and is given as ".4" — 1 of 225 = 0.4 percent), as were the zero percents that image as a bare "0" and are given as ".0" (section A rows 5,000-9,999; section B rows 30-39, 60-69, 70-79, 90-99, 150-199, 200-299, 300-399, 400 and over). Cells where the period is plainly visible were left as read. Verification: all five numeric columns add exactly to their printed totals in both sections — section A, 489,365 / 6,871 / 2,565 / 1,487 / 2,819; section B, 13,256 / 225 / 43 / 17 / 165 — so the digits are well attested and no printed total appears to be in error. Doubtful glyphs: "1,607" (section A, row 1-9, Number of elections) is broken in the scan and could be misread as "1,C07"; the column total confirms 1,607. "(1)" standing alone in a cell is the printed reference to footnote 1 (less than one-tenth of 1 percent), not a value. Two specks are scanner noise, not characters: an apostrophe-like mark to the left of "103" (section A, row 150-199, Elections in which no representative was chosen / Number) and a short dash before "2" (section B, row 60-69, AFL-CIO affiliates / Number).
