182 of 182 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 165. Eight columns: stub, Total, and the six columns under "Identification of Filing Party". The stub column has no printed heading, so cell 0 of both heading levels is empty; "Total" spans both heading levels and is repeated. Six section lines ("All cases", "Unfair labor practice cases^2", "Representation cases^3", "Union-shop deauthorization cases", "Amendment of certification cases", "Unit clarification cases") are printed centred across the full table width with no values; their value cells are "". Within each section the same five stub labels repeat, so the stub is not unique across the table. In the "Union-shop deauthorization cases" section the six filing-party columns other than "Individuals" hold dashed rules (------), transcribed as "". Arithmetic cross-checks all pass as printed: every row's six filing-party cells sum to its Total; Pending July 1 + Received = On docket and On docket - Closed = Pending June 30 in every column; and the five case-type sections sum to the "All cases" block. No misprints detected. The raised footnote markers on the "Unfair labor practice cases" and "Representation cases" section lines are small and thickened by the scan; they read as 2 and 3 respectively, which matches the footnote texts ("See table 1A"/"See table 1B") below the table. Footnote 1 as printed appears to lack a period after "definitions of terms" before "Advisory opinion (AO) cases not included"; transcribed as printed. A stray mark follows "types of cases." in footnote 2 (likely a dash or speck of dirt); not transcribed. The caption ("Table 1.—Total Cases Received, Closed, and Pending, Fiscal Year 1970 1") carries footnote marker 1 and is omitted per instructions; footnote 1's text is retained in `footnotes`.
