33 of 33 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 27. The crop is a chart page (Chart 11, "BOARD CASE BACKLOG"), not a conventional table; the grid above is the small data block printed below the plot. The column headings 1962-1972 are the chart's x-axis year labels, printed directly above and aligned with the data columns; no separate heading row is printed for the data block itself. "Proceedings" is printed at the left immediately above the "C" row, in the stub column, and is transcribed as the stub heading (the same word also appears inside the plot frame as the y-axis label, which is not transcribed). Each of the two series rows is preceded by a small legend swatch (a solid black patch for C, a horizontally striped patch for R); these are symbols, not footnote markers, and are not transcribed. A horizontal rule runs under the R row's values, separating them from the Totals row. The row labels are the single letters "C" and "R" exactly as printed, with no expansion given on this page. All eleven columns are internally consistent (C + R = Totals in every year), so no misprints are suspected. The page also carries body text below the chart, which is not part of the table.
