671 of 671 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 193. The crop cuts the table off at the bottom: the last row shown is "Teamsters v Local v. Local", and the 3-union subtotal line, any further sections (a part "B" is implied by the "A ALL REPRESENTATION ELECTIONS" section line) and the footnotes printed under the table are not on this image. The caption carries a raised "1" after "Fiscal Year 1970", but the footnote text itself is below the crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Punctuation after the abbreviation "v" is typeset inconsistently and is often indistinguishable from the start of the leader dots in this scan; rows such as "Teamsters v Teamsters", "Teamsters v Natl", "Teamsters v Local", "Local v Local", "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO", "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v Local", "AFL-CIO v. Natl v Natl" and "Teamsters v Local v. Local" are transcribed as read, but a period may be present. Likewise it cannot be settled whether "Natl" carries a closing period in labels such as "AFL-CIO v. Natl". In the row transcribed as "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters v. Local" the word "Teamsters" is printed with a damaged letter that reads like "Teamstors"; it is transcribed as "Teamsters" on the evidence of every other row. Blank cells in the body are printed as dash rules (leader-dot rules) and are rendered as "" per instruction; printed zeros are kept as 0. Nothing was computed, but as a check on column placement every row and both subtotal blocks reconcile exactly as printed (e.g. 1-union: 66,440+18,345+14,032+3,787 = 102,604; 2-union total valid 126,447 = sum of its ten rows), so no misprints were detected in the visible portion.
p. 194. Continuation crop: no column headings are printed on this page, so header_rows is empty. The grid has 14 columns (stub + 13 numeric), counted from the vertical column rules; the widths are consistent across every row of both panels. The first four rows finish panel A of the table (the last two multi-union detail lines, the "3(or more)-union elections" subtotal and the "Total representation elections" line); the row label text for the rows above them is on the preceding page. "B. ELECTIONS IN RC CASES" is a centered section heading spanning the full width with no values, transcribed as a label-only row. The label "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO" (in section B, above the "...v. Natl" line) is printed on two lines, broken as "AFL-" / "CIO"; the lines are joined and the hyphen kept as part of "AFL-CIO". Period usage after "v" is uneven in the original typesetting (e.g. "AFL-CIO v Teamsters" vs "AFL-CIO v. Natl", and the two four-union lines differ between panel A and panel B). Periods are transcribed as they appear at this scan resolution, but individual periods after "v" are the least certain characters on the page; the numbers are much clearer than the punctuation. All cells printed as a dash rule ("------") are transcribed as "". Printed zeros are kept as 0. Arithmetic cross-checks all hold as transcribed: columns 3-6 sum to column 2 and columns 9-12 sum to column 8 in every detail and subtotal row; the 1-union, 2-union and 3(or more)-union subtotals sum to "Total RC elections" in all 13 numeric columns; and columns 3-6 and 9-12 of "Total representation elections" sum to its columns 2 and 8. No misprints detected.
p. 195. The crop is a continuation page (panel "C. ELECTIONS IN RM CASES" only); the footnote marker 1 appears in the caption but no footnote text is printed on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. Column-heading asymmetry is as printed: the "elections won" panel reads "Other national union" / "Other local union" (singular) while the "elections lost" panel reads "Other national unions" / "Other local unions" (plural). Digit shapes: the 5s in this font are badly inked and resemble 6 at several places (AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO lost Total and lost AFL-CIO unions; Natl v. Local lost Total and lost Other national unions; 2-union elections won Total-votes-for-no-union and lost Other national unions; "3 (or more)-union elections" won Total = 57; Total RM elections won Other national union = 523). All were resolved as 5 because every row and column cross-foots exactly with that reading (e.g. 2+0+0+3+0+0+0+0+0 = 5; 5+89+0+0+0+0+5+0+0 = 99; 2,330+929+523+272 = 4,054). Row labels "AFL-CIO v. Natl", "Teamsters v. Natl", "Natl v. Local", "Natl v. Natl": the abbreviation's period, if any, is indistinguishable from the leader dots that follow, so the labels are given without a trailing period. Dash rules ("------") in empty value cells are transcribed as "". No internal inconsistencies were found: every detail block sums to its subtotal and the three subtotals sum to "Total RM elections" in all 13 value columns.
p. 196. The crop is a continuation panel: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. The grid has 14 columns (stub + 13 numeric), read off the vertical rules: col 1 is an overall total; col 2 is a subtotal whose parts are cols 3-6; col 7 is a second overall total; col 8 is a subtotal whose parts are cols 9-12; col 13 stands alone after a rule. The centered line "D ELECTIONS IN RD CASES" at the top sits above the table's top rule and is set across the full width rather than in the stub. I recorded it as a label-only section row (section D of a multi-section table, matching the lettered-section pattern) rather than dropping it as a caption; a reader who treats it as a caption should delete the first row. Many cells are printed as dash rules (------) marking "no value"; these are transcribed as "". Printed zeros (e.g. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO cols 2, 3, 7; AFL-CIO v. Teamsters col 9; 2-union elections cols 5 and 11) are kept as 0. In this scan the digit 5 can look like 6 (e.g. "531", "5,349", "5,440", "2,598", "1,697"). Every such cell was resolved by arithmetic: all four 1-union component rows sum to the 1-union elections line, all three 2-union rows sum to the 2-union elections line, and 1-union + 2-union equals Total RD elections in all 13 columns, with cols 3-6 summing to col 2 and cols 9-12 summing to col 8 in every row. Nothing was computed or corrected; the printed figures already agree. The footnote marker 1 at the foot belongs to the table caption, which is outside this crop; no marker is attached to any row label or value on this image.
