  2. 2 CD cases closed in this stage are processed as jurisdictional disputes under Sec. 10(k) of the Act. See Table 7A.

180 of 180 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 219. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the last transcribed row ("Circuit court of appeals decree") sits on the bottom edge of the image and the table clearly continues onto the next page (no footnote block is visible, so `footnotes` is empty even though footnote markers 1 and 2 are used — marker 1 is on the caption, which is excluded). 18 columns: stub, then All C cases (Number / Percent of total closed / Percent of total method) and Number + Percent of total closed for each of CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP. Decimal points: the scan drops many decimal points in the percent columns, so they print as a gap (e.g. "18 6", "53 5", "41 7", "97 4", "0 1", "9 3", "23 0", "100 0", "30 0"). Spacing, digit count and neighbouring values make these unambiguous decimal points, so they are transcribed with "." throughout. Affected cells include: Agreement of the parties (CB %, CC %, CP %), Informal settlement (All C % of total method, CP %), After issuance of complaint before opening of hearing (CD %, CE %, CG %, CP %), After hearing opened before issuance of ALJ's decision (All C % of total closed), Formal settlement (CE %, CP %), After issuance of complaint before opening of hearing under Formal settlement (All C % of total method), Stipulated decision rows, Consent decree rows, Compliance with (All C % of total method), Administrative law judge's decision (several), Adopting ALJ's decision (CB %, CP %), Contested (All C % of total closed), Circuit court of appeals decree (All C % of total method, CC %). "Total number of cases closed", All C cases "Percent of total method" column: printed as "0.0". This looks like a misprint (the column is otherwise a within-method percentage and this cell would normally be blank or 100.0); transcribed as printed. "Before issuance of complaint", CD cases Number column: the cell holds a parenthesised raised 2, i.e. a footnote reference rather than a value; transcribed as "(^2)". The footnote text itself is not on this crop. "Stipulated decision" (first one, under After hearing opened), CC cases Number column: a stray ink dot sits just left of the "0"; the value is 0.

p. 220. 18 columns: stub + All C cases (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + Number/Percent-of-total-closed pairs for CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP. This is a continuation page: the body opens mid-section with "Supreme Court action", and the "Before issuance of complaint ... After Board or court decision" block belongs under "Withdrawal" while the second such block belongs under "Dismissal" (the printed horizontal rules mark those groupings). Decimal points: this 1-bit scan drops many decimal points, so a number such as "0.0" often prints as "0 0". I have restored the decimal point in every such cell, which affects: Supreme Court action (CE percent); After administrative law judge's decision, before Board decision (CE, CG percents); After Board or court decision (CG, CP percents); Before issuance of complaint under Withdrawal (CC "31 1" -> 31.1, CE "25 0" -> 25.0); Before issuance of complaint under Dismissal (CC "12 0" -> 12.0, CG "16 2" -> 16.2); After issuance of complaint under Dismissal (CE percent); By administrative law judge's decision (CC, CG percents); By Board decision (All C percent-of-total-closed "0 6" -> 0.6, CC "0 1" -> 0.1, CE percent); Contested (CE percent); By circuit court of appeals decree (All C percent-of-total-method "0 1" -> 0.1, CC, CE, CG percents); By Supreme Court action (All C percent-of-total-method, CC, CE, CG percents); (k) actions (All C percent-of-total-method, CA percent, CC percent, CE percent, CP percent); Otherwise (CE percent). In every case the surrounding column makes the intended value unambiguous. CD-cases Number for both "Before issuance of complaint" rows prints a parenthesised raised 2 in place of a figure; transcribed as "(^2)" (footnote 2 explains that such CD cases are handled under Sec. 10(k)). Row label "(k) actions (see Table 7A for details of dispositions)" is transcribed as it appears. It is almost certainly "10(k) actions" in the original typesetting — the 229 CD cases at 97.0 percent and footnote 2 both point that way — but no "10" is visible at the start of the line in this scan, so none was supplied. Last row ("Otherwise ..."), CP cases Number: the cell reads as blank in the scan while the CP percent beside it reads 0.0. Given every other cell in that column carries a figure, this is very likely a dropped "0", but it has been left empty rather than filled in. The "After hearing opened, before administrative law judge's decision" row under Dismissal has a stray leader dot just left of the All C percent-of-total-method value; the value itself is 0.1.
