Reader’s notes

p. 213. Eleven columns: stub plus Number/Percent pairs for All R, RC, RM, RD and UD cases. The stub heading "Method and stage of disposition" spans both heading levels and is repeated in each. Decimal points: in this scan the period in every percent value is faint or lost, so the percents print as e.g. "100 0", "67 2". They are transcribed with the decimal point restored ("100.0", "67.2"), since the figures are one-decimal percentages throughout and the spacing is a scanning artifact rather than the printed form. No digits were altered. The section line reading "After" (row 3) is followed by a mark that is almost certainly a colon, rendered faintly in the scan; transcribed as "After:". "Expedited election" row: the UD cases Percent cell holds a dash rule (""), and the UD cases Number cell appears empty rather than carrying a printed "0" as the neighbouring rows do; it is transcribed as "". This is the one cell in the grid I am unsure about — if a "0" is printed there it is very faint. The RD cases Percent cell on that row is a dash rule. Dash rules ("--------") in Percent columns are transcribed as "" throughout. Arithmetic check (not applied to the cells, only verified): every column's components sum to its stated subtotals and the grand total, and All R = RC + RM + RD in each row; the printed percentages match the implied ratios. No misprints detected.
