806 of 807 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 2 cells break a sum: 'Mississippi', column 2: prints 201, the subtotals in columns 3 to 17 add to 202; 'Region IV', column 17: prints 15, rows 'Alabama' to 'Tennessee' add to 16.
p. 240. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the body ends mid-section with "North Carolina" (part of the Region IV block, whose remaining states and "Region IV" subtotal line are not on this image), and the table continues beyond the crop. Footnote markers 1 (on the caption, which is excluded) and 2 (on the stub heading "Standard Federal Regions") are printed, but no footnote text appears on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. 17 columns: stub, "All cases", eight 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 and UC. The UD/AC/UC spanner headings ("Union deauthorization cases", "Amendment of certification cases", "Unit clarification cases") occupy the top two heading levels and the code letters sit on the third level; the stub heading, "All cases" and the second-level headings are repeated down the levels they span. Blank separator lines between regional blocks are not transcribed as rows. Possible misprint: the Mississippi row does not add across. Its components (All C 164 + All R 37 + UD 0 + AC 0 + UC 1) sum to 202, but "All cases" is printed as 201. The glyph reads clearly as 201 on two passes and is transcribed as printed. Every other row and all three regional subtotal lines (Region I, II, III) cross-foot exactly, both across and down, which supports the rest of the grid. Minor rendering note: the scan renders dotted i/j characters in the state names faintly (e.g. "Connecticut", "Mississippi", "Virginia"); the names are unambiguous and are given in standard spelling.
p. 241. Continuation page: the table carries over from the preceding page, so the Region IV block is incomplete here (only South Carolina and Tennessee precede the "Region IV" total line), and the crop ends after Wyoming — the Region VIII total line and any later regions/footnote texts fall outside the crop. No footnote texts are printed on this image, although footnote markers appear in the caption ("Fiscal Year 1986^1", caption excluded per instructions) and in the stub heading "Standard Federal Regions^2". Typesetting/legibility items (all resolved; every one checks out against the row and column sums, which balance throughout): - Region V, "All R cases" and "RC": printed with a faint/broken grouping comma, reading as "1 967" and "1 369"; transcribed as 1,967 and 1,369 (they equal the column sums 485+185+517+183+435+162 and 304+141+379+104+334+107). - Texas, "All C cases": same faint comma, printed as "1 031"; transcribed as 1,031 (= 704+298+18+7+2+1+1). - Louisiana, "All R cases": the leading digit is smudged in the scan; read as 55, confirmed by 41+1+13 = 55 and by the Region VI total 309. - Illinois, "CE": a small stray ink mark sits just left of the digit in the cell; the value is 4 (confirms Illinois All C cases = 2,144). - A stray ink mark appears in the stub to the right of the "Tennessee" label; it is not a footnote marker and was not transcribed. Column structure: 17 columns. Columns 14-16 (UD, AC, UC) carry a two-level-tall heading ("Union deauthorization cases", "Amendment of certification cases", "Unit clarification cases") above the code line, so those headings are repeated in the top two heading levels; the stub heading and "All cases" span all three levels.
p. 242. This is a continuation page of Table 6B, but the column headings are reprinted on it, so header_rows is filled in. The table has 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), and three single columns (UD, AC, UC) whose spanner headings sit in the first two header levels with the letter codes on the third. The first body row, "Region VIII", is a region subtotal whose constituent States are printed on the preceding page, which the crop cuts off; the rows for the States of Regions IX and X precede their respective "Region IX" and "Region X" subtotal lines, matching the layout of the rest of the table. Idaho's CD value of 16 is conspicuously large relative to neighbouring CD entries (all 0-6), but it is clearly printed as 16 and is arithmetically consistent: Idaho's C-case row sums to 92 only with CD = 16, and the Region X CD subtotal of 23 equals 1 + 16 + 0 + 6. Transcribed as printed. Hawaii's AC value of 8 is likewise larger than its neighbours but is confirmed by the Region IX AC subtotal of 10 (0 + 2 + 8 + 0 + 0). Every row and column sum in the grid is internally consistent: CA through CP sum to "All C cases"; RC + RM + RD sum to "All R cases"; All C + All R + UD + AC + UC sum to "All cases"; the five Region IX States sum to the Region IX line, the four Region X States to the Region X line, and no printed total appears to be in error. Scan quality is good and no cell was illegible.
