Reader’s notes
p. 301. 11 columns: stub plus five case-type panels of two columns each (Number of cases / Percent of cases closed). Second panel heading: the glyphs read as "CR cases" in this scan, transcribed as printed. Note that the standard NLRB case-type designation in this series is "RC", so this may be a scan artifact or an original misprint; the cell is doubtful. Decimal points in the percent columns are faint or dropped in the scan (e.g. the "100 0", "30 9", "63 2", "55 2", "64 1", "1 3", "0 6" renderings). They are transcribed with the decimal point that the one-decimal typesetting implies; no digit was altered. The arithmetic confirms the reading: every "Number of cases" column's five stage rows sum exactly to its printed total (15,436 / 12,471 / 1,098 / 1,867 / 332), and every percent column's stage rows sum to 100.0. Last row, UD cases / Percent of cases closed: the cell holds a dash rule, so it is transcribed as "" (the matching Number cell is a printed 0). The caption carries footnote marker 1 ("...Fiscal Year 1977 ^1"); the caption itself is omitted per instructions, and footnote 1 is recorded in footnotes.
