Reader’s notes
p. 215. Two printed columns: the stub "Stage" and "Median days". Row II.A.1 is printed as "Filing of petition of notice of hearing issued"; this appears to be a misprint for "Filing of petition to notice of hearing issued" (compare the parallel item II.A.4 "Filing of petition to—"), but it is transcribed exactly as printed. The outline labels (I, II, A, B, C, 1-5) are printed without periods and are kept that way. Under II.A.3 and II.A.4 the indented sub-lines "Board decision issued" and "Regional Director's decision issued" each occur twice; they are unnumbered in the original and are kept as separate rows in printed order. The raised 1 and 2 after "Age" in rows I.B, I.C, II.B and II.C are footnote markers, recorded with carets. Scan quality is good; no illegible cells.
