522 of 522 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 237. 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then two six-column blocks ("elections won" and "elections lost"), each with a five-column "Votes for unions" group plus a "Total votes for no union" column. "A. All representation elections" is printed as a centred section line across the body with no values; it is given here as a label-only row. The crop shows only panel A — if the page carried further panels (B, C, ...) they are not on this image. The caption line above the headings is outside the crop. Dash rules ("——") are transcribed as empty cells; printed zeros are kept as 0. The distinction matters in several rows (e.g. "Teamsters v. Teamsters" has 0 under elections-lost Total and Teamsters but rules under AFL-CIO unions, Other national and Other local). Punctuation: in three labels the period after "v" is not visible in the scan — "National v Local", "AFL-CIO v Teamsters v. National", "AFL-CIO v Local v. Local". I have written "v." in all of them on the assumption the dot was lost in the 1-bit scan; the wording is otherwise as printed. The scan renders the hyphen in "AFL-CIO" as an en dash throughout; transcribed as a plain hyphen. A stray ink speck sits in the blank stub area just above the "A." section line and another above the "2-union elections" label; neither is text. All internal arithmetic reconciles: the four union-group rows sum to each "1-union elections" subtotal, the nine pairings to "2-union elections", the seven triples to "3-union elections", the three subtotals to "Total representation elections", the component union columns to each block's "Total", and each row's won/no-union/lost/no-union cells to "Total valid votes cast". No misprints detected.
p. 238. The crop carries 14 printed columns: the stub, "Total valid votes cast", then two six-column blocks ("Valid votes cast in elections won" and "Valid votes cast in elections lost"), each made of a five-column "Votes for unions" group (Total, AFL-CIO unions, Teamsters, Other national unions, Other local unions) followed by its own "Total votes for no union" column. "B. Elections in RC cases" is a centered section line spanning the table width; it is transcribed as a label-only row. The crop begins with this panel, so panel A of the same table is on an earlier page and is not present here. Every cell printed as a dash rule (em-rule) is transcribed as ""; printed zeros are kept as 0. In the "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Teamsters" row the "Other local unions / elections won" cell shows a stray ink speck beside the dash rule; it is a dash rule, i.e. "". All internal arithmetic checks pass: each panel's subtotal rows (1-union, 2-union, 3-union elections) equal the sum of their component rows in every column, "Total RC elections" equals the sum of the three subtotals in every column, and each row's "Total valid votes cast" equals won-union-total + won-no-union + lost-union-total + lost-no-union. No misprints detected.
p. 239. The crop cuts the table off in the middle of panel D: the last printed row visible is "Teamsters v. Local", and the remaining D rows (further 2-union pairings, the "2-union elections" subtotal and the "Total RD elections" line) continue below the crop. The caption line at the top is also clipped. Column structure: 14 columns — stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns for elections won (Total, AFL-CIO unions, Teamsters, Other national unions, Other local unions, Total votes for no union) and the same six for elections lost. Em-dash rules ("——") in the body are rendered as empty cells per instructions; printed zeros are kept as 0. Doubtful marks: in section D, the "Total votes for no union" (won) cell of "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters" has a small speck/tick before the figure; I read it as 2, which is consistent with 67 + 2 + 19 + 27 = 115. In the same section the "Other national unions" (lost) cell of the "Other national unions" row is printed with a stray comma-like speck ahead of it (",129"); transcribed as 129, consistent with the 1-union subtotal of 129. Section D "Teamsters v. Local" has several stray ink dots beside its figures; they are not footnote markers. Internal arithmetic checks pass for every row and column in section C (both subtotals and the "Total RM elections" line) and for the D rows shown, which supports the column assignments.
p. 240. This crop is the tail of a continued table (caption reads "—Continued"), so only the last two body rows are present; the preceding rows are on the previous page. Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed. The table has 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Total/AFL-CIO/Teamsters/Other national/Other local under "Votes for unions", plus "Total votes for no union") and the same six under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". Headings broken by end-of-line hyphens ("Team-sters", "Other na-tional unions") were rejoined; "AFL-CIO" is printed with an en-dash-like hyphen and is written with a plain hyphen. Small stray ink specks appear in the heading cell "Total votes for no union" (elections won), above "Other local unions" (elections lost), to the right of 4,909 in the Total RD elections row, and in the stub rule area; they are printing artifacts, not footnote markers. All printed values are internally consistent (component columns sum to the printed totals in both rows).
