Reader’s notes
p. 170. Seven columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", then the five columns under "Formal actions taken by type of case" (Total formal actions taken, RC, RM, RD, UD). The scan's worn type makes 5 and 6 hard to distinguish in several small-value cells (e.g. "Initial hearings" RD = 105, "Hearings on objections and/or challenges" RD = 5, "Dismissals on record" under "After transfer..." RD = 5, "Exceptions to regional directors' reports" RD = 6); every reading given here is confirmed by cross-footing, since all component rows sum exactly to their subtotals and all type-of-case columns sum to the "Total formal actions taken" column. No printed value appears to be a misprint. The caption's footnote marker 1 is omitted with the caption as instructed.
