p. 202. Eight columns: stub, Total, and the six "Identification of filing party" columns (AFL-CIO unions, Teamsters, Other national unions, Other local unions, Individuals, Employers). The stub heading is blank on this page. "RC cases", "RM cases" and "RD cases" are centred section lines carrying no values; their non-stub cells are empty. Cells printed as a dash rule (an em-dash/box rule meaning "not applicable") are transcribed as "": the whole Employers column in the RC and RD blocks, and the five filing-party columns in the RM block. Arithmetic as printed (nothing was corrected): in the RC block, Pending Oct 1 + Received (1,829 + 5,036 = 6,865) exceeds the printed On docket figure of 6,864, and the AFL-CIO column likewise gives 1,158 + 2,934 = 4,092 against the printed 4,091. The printed On docket row is internally consistent (4,091 + 1,923 + 233 + 603 + 14 = 6,864) and matches Closed + Pending Sept 30 (5,052 + 1,812 = 6,864; 2,973 + 1,118 = 4,091), so the one-unit gap sits between the receipts rows and the On docket row. RM and RD blocks balance exactly. Scan-legibility items: the RM block's last row label images as "Pendmg September 30, 1987" and the footnote as "denfinitions"; both are broken-type artefacts of this 1-bit scan and are transcribed with the intended spellings "Pending" and "definitions". The "4,091" in the On docket fiscal 1987 / AFL-CIO unions cell was read carefully because of the imbalance noted above; the final digit reads as 1.
