107 of 110 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 1 cell breaks a sum: 'Decisions by administrative la', column 3: prints 623, columns 4 to 14 add to 620.
p. 205. The table has 14 columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", and 12 columns under the spanner "Formal actions taken by type of case" (Total, CA, CB, CC, CD-Jurisdictional disputes, CD-Unfair labor practices, CE, CG, CP, CA combined with CB, C combined with representation cases, Other C combinations). Em-dash rules ("——") appear in many cells (notably the whole "10(k) notices of hearings issued" row except the Cases, Total and CD-Jurisdictional columns, and the CD-Jurisdictional column of most other rows); these are transcribed as "" per instruction, as distinct from printed "0". Section-label rows with no values: "Upon consent of parties:", "Adopting administrative law judges' decisions (no exceptions filed):", and "Contested.". The last one's terminal punctuation is ambiguous in the scan — it reads as a period but is most likely a colon matching the other two section labels; transcribed as printed ("Contested."). The scan is a noisy 1-bit image: "i" dots are frequently lost, so words such as "Decisions", "Initial", "Complaints", "administrative" and "definitions" appear with missing dots; I have transcribed the intended spelling. Stray ink specks sit before the value cells of "Backpay decisions" (second occurrence, Cases column, reads as 'O with a mark — transcribed 0), "Decisions based on stipulated record" (Cases column, a dash-like speck before 24), "Supplemental ULP decisions" (CB column, a dot before 0), "Backpay decisions" (last row, CC column, a dot before 1), and "Backpay decisions" (last row, CG column, a dot before 0); none of these are footnote markers or digits. In the "Initial ULP decisions" row under "Contested.", the value in the "C combined with representation cases" column reads 11 with a stray mark above the first stroke; transcribed as 11. The caption line above the table is cut off by the crop; only a fragment of a raised footnote marker (presumably the "1" tied to the footnote below) is visible at the top edge. No column totals could be checked against a grand-total row because none is printed.
