Reader’s notes

p. 31. The crop shows only the top fragment of this stepped summary listing: no column headings are printed, and the table is cut off below the "Initial (includes those based on stipulated record)" row, so later rows of the breakdown are not on this image. The figures are set as a staircase that steps leftward with the indentation of each label (3,081 and 1,857 end at the far right margin, 1,181 further left, 1,098 further left still, and no two of the inner figures align with each other), so they are transcribed as a single value column rather than as separate columns. The rules under 3,081 (double) and under 1,857 (single) are total rules, not digits or markers. All four values are clearly legible.

p. 32. The crop shows no column headings, so header_rows is empty; the table continues from the preceding page (the opening rows of this section, including the contested-decisions heading and total, are above the crop). The grid has four columns: the stub plus three value columns at successively deeper indentation levels, read off the horizontal positions of the printed figures — innermost (leaf items such as 3, 38, 42, 53, 92, 525, 1, 1, 4, 599, 617, 8), middle (subtotals 670 and 6), and rightmost (1,224). The column assignment is corroborated by the printed arithmetic: 53+92+525=670, 1+1+4=6, and 599+617+8=1,224; no printed figure appears inconsistent. The figures 599, 617 and 8 sit roughly one digit-width to the left of the other leaf values (3, 38, 42, etc.), but they belong to the same innermost value column, as the sum to 1,224 confirms. A short horizontal rule is printed beneath 1,224 in the rightmost column, indicating a grand total that falls below the bottom edge of the crop; that total row is not visible here. Row labels that wrap over two or three printed lines ("Determinations in jurisdictional disputes", "After transfer by regional directors for initial decision", "After review of regional director decisions", "On objections and/or challenges", "Clarification of bargaining unit") have been joined and their end-of-line hyphens repaired; the hyphen in "Union-deauthorization" is printed mid-line and is retained.
