688 of 688 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 2 cells break a sum: 'Legal services', column 2: prints 113, the subtotals in columns 3 to 17 add to 112; 'Services', column 17: prints 97, rows 'Hotels, rooming hous' to 'Miscellaneous servic' add to 96.
p. 166. 17 columns: stub, All cases, the 8 unfair-labor-practice columns (All C cases, CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), the 4 representation columns (All R cases, RC, RM, RD), and UD, AC, UC. The three right-hand headings (Union deauthorization cases, Amendment of certification cases, Unit clarification cases) are tall headings printed above their code letters UD/AC/UC, so each is repeated down the first two heading levels. The crop is cut off after the "Manufacturing" subtotal line: the nonmanufacturing portion of Table 5 and the footnote texts for markers 1 (on the caption) and 2 (on "Industrial group") are not on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. Doubtful cells: in "Food and kindred products", the UC cell carries a small ink speck above the first digit; it reads 17 and the row and column arithmetic both confirm 17. In "Rubber and miscellaneous plastic products" there is a small stray dash to the left of the UC value; the value itself is 0. All row sums (CA+CB+CC+CD+CE+CG+CP = All C cases; RC+RM+RD = All R cases; All C + All R + UD + AC + UC = All cases) and all column sums against the "Manufacturing" line check out exactly as transcribed; no misprints detected.
p. 167. 17 columns: stub, "All cases", eight C columns, four R columns, and UD/AC/UC. The three heading levels are the spanner row ("Unfair labor practice cases", "Representation cases", and the tall headings for the last three columns), the code row ("All C cases" ... "RD"), and the UD/AC/UC row, whose rule is drawn only under the last three columns, so every other heading is repeated down through all levels it spans. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the body ends mid-table at "Museums, art galleries, and botanical and zoological gardens" (its last row of type is partly clipped but legible), and the services subtotal, the remaining sections and any footnotes printed under the table are not on this image. Hence the empty footnote list; the caption's superscript 1 and the stub's superscript 2 markers are printed here but their texts are not. Suspected misprint: "Legal services" shows All cases = 113, but the printed components add to 112 (All C 103 + All R 9, with UD, AC and UC all 0); the C breakdown itself is internally consistent (75 + 28 = 103). Transcribed as printed. Every other row and both subtotal rows ("Mining", "Transportation, communication, and other utilities") check out exactly, across rows and down the columns. "U.S. Postal Service": the periods do not resolve at this scan resolution (the label reads as "U S Postal Service" on the image); transcribed with the periods as the printed form. "Mining", "Construction" through "U.S. Postal Service", "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" and the hotel-to-museum block are printed indented; "Mining" and "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" are rule-set subtotal rows. Indentation is not carried into the cells.
p. 168. This crop is the tail of a continued table (caption reads "—Continued"), so the body begins mid-list: "Social services" and "Miscellaneous services" are the last two detail lines of the "Services" division, followed by the "Services" subtotal, the "Public administration" line and the grand total. The earlier industrial groups are on the preceding page. Column structure: 17 columns — stub, "All cases", eight unfair-labor-practice columns (All C cases, CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), four representation columns (All R cases, RC, RM, RD), and three single columns whose two-level headings end in the code letters UD, AC and UC. All printed arithmetic checks out internally (component columns sum to the "All C cases" and "All R cases" columns, and those plus UD/AC/UC sum to "All cases" on every row), which supports the digit readings; no misprints detected. A small stray curved mark sits just above "All cases" in the heading box; it does not resemble any footnote marker used in this report and is read as a scan artifact, so it is not transcribed. The scan drops or thins small punctuation throughout (note the dotless "i" in words such as "Industrial" and "Miscellaneous"). Consequently the periods and the colon in footnote 2 ("Source:", "D.C.,") and any terminal period in footnote 1 are inferred from the faint marks and the standard wording of this footnote in the NLRB series rather than read crisply.
