Reader’s notes

p. 234. Crop coverage: the image shows only the first panel of the table — the manufacturing industry groups and the "Manufacturing" subtotal, which is closed by a double rule at the bottom edge. The remainder of the table (nonmanufacturing groups and the grand total) and the footnote texts keyed to markers 1 (in the caption) and 2 (on the stub heading "Industrial group") are not printed on this crop, hence `footnotes` is empty. Header structure: 17 columns. The stub and the "All cases" column span all three heading levels; "Unfair labor practice cases" spans the 8 columns All C cases–CP and "Representation cases" spans All R cases–RD; the three rightmost headings ("Union deauthorization cases", "Amendment of certification cases", "Unit clarification cases") span the top two levels, with their symbol codes UD, AC, UC printed in the third level. Missing digit-grouping commas: in several cells the thousands comma did not print (or printed as a bare space) in this scan — "1 584" (Food and kindred products, All cases), "1 378" (Machinery (except electrical), All cases), and in the Manufacturing row "12 610" (All C cases), "8 957" (CA), "2 587" (All R cases), "1 842" (RC). These are transcribed with the comma restored (1,584; 1,378; 12,610; 8,957; 2,587; 1,842) for consistency with the neighbouring values, which are printed with commas. Row label: "Electrical and electronic machinery equipment, and supplies" shows a wide gap between "machinery" and "equipment" where a comma would normally stand (the usual SIC wording is "machinery, equipment, and supplies"); the comma is not legible in the scan, so the label is transcribed without it. Arithmetic check: every one of the 16 value columns sums across the 22 industry rows exactly to the printed "Manufacturing" subtotal, and each row's component columns sum to its "All C cases", "All R cases" and "All cases" entries. No internal inconsistencies were found.

p. 235. This is a "—Continued" page: the table starts on an earlier page and runs on past this crop (the last printed row, "Museums, art galleries, and botanical and zoological gardens", sits right at the bottom edge of the image, and the services block has no subtotal line here). No footnote texts are printed below the table on this page, although the caption carries marker 1 and the stub heading carries marker 2; those notes must appear on the table's first or last page. The three column-heading levels are: (1) the spanner row ("Unfair labor practice cases" over 8 columns, "Representation cases" over 4 columns, and the three tall boxes "Union deauthorization cases", "Amendment of certification cases", "Unit clarification cases"); (2) the case-type row ("All C cases", CA…CP, "All R cases", RC, RM, RD); (3) the code row (UD, AC, UC), which is printed only under the last three boxes. The stub heading "Industrial group^2" and "All cases" are tall single headings repeated down all three levels. Row-label wording: "Mining" (row 5) and "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" (row 17) are indented subtotal lines set off by rules; they are transcribed in the stub without the indent. "Local and suburban transit and interurban highway passenger transportation" wraps onto two printed lines and is joined here. Doubtful cell: the stub label read as "U.S. Postal Service" is printed with the periods after U and S very faint/absent in this 1-bit scan (it images as "U S Postal Service"); the wider gaps indicate dropped periods rather than a different wording. No arithmetic was checked or corrected; all values are as printed.

p. 236. This is a continuation page ("—Continued"): the body begins mid-list with the last two detail rows of the Services group, so the earlier industrial groups are on the preceding page(s). Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed. 17 columns: stub, "All cases", eight columns under "Unfair labor practice cases" (All C cases, CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), four under "Representation cases" (All R cases, RC, RM, RD), then UD, AC, UC. The UD/AC/UC spanner labels ("Union deauthorization cases", "Amendment of certification cases", "Unit clarification cases") occupy heading levels 1-2 with the code letters on level 3; "All cases" and the code headings span levels 2-3, so they are repeated per the spanning rule. The scan has dropped most periods, so punctuation in footnote 2 is uncertain: the text after "Source" is almost certainly a colon in the original and "D C ," is almost certainly "D.C.,". These are transcribed as legible on the image rather than repaired. The footnote-1 line likewise may end with a period that is not visible. Row indentation differs (the two detail rows are flush left, "Services", "Public administration" and the total row are indented) but no indentation is encoded in the labels. All printed figures are internally consistent: each row's C subtotal equals CA+CB+CC+CD+CE+CG+CP, each R subtotal equals RC+RM+RD, and "All cases" equals All C + All R + UD + AC + UC, including the grand total row.
