182 of 182 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 221. The crop ends mid-table: the "Compliance with" block is incomplete (its printed total of 798 exceeds the sum of the three sub-rows shown, 28 + 524 = 552), so further rows and any footnotes continue on the following page. No footnotes are printed on this image; the title carries a raised 1 whose text is not in the crop. Decimal points: the scan drops the period in a number of percent cells, which print as e.g. "100 0", "34 3", "8 1", "71 4", "14 4", "0 2", "1 5", "0 3". These are clearly degraded decimal points (every one is a one-decimal percentage consistent with its column) and have been transcribed with the point restored. Affected cells: Total number of cases closed (CC and CG, Percent of total closed); Agreement of the parties and Informal settlement (CP, Percent of total closed); Before issuance of complaint (All C, Percent of total method; CE, Percent of total closed); After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing [informal] (All C, Percent of total closed); After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing [formal] (CB, Percent of total closed); Consent decree [first] (CC, Percent of total closed); Adopting administrative law judge's decision (CP, Percent of total closed). "Total number of cases closed", All C cases / Percent of total method: printed as "0.0". This is anomalous — that column is a within-method percentage and the cell is normally blank on the total line — but it is transcribed as printed. "Before issuance of complaint", CD cases / Number: the cell holds a parenthesised raised digit rather than a value, transcribed as "(^2)"; the raised character is most likely a 2 but the resolution leaves some doubt (it could be a 3). Column arithmetic implies the underlying value is 0, since CD informal settlement = 2 = 0 + 1 + 1. Rounding conventions differ between columns in the original: the three All C columns round to the nearest tenth (e.g. 2,421/29,910 = 8.094 printed as 8.1; 798/29,910 = 2.668 printed as 2.7), while every CA–CP "Percent of total closed" column truncates (e.g. 7,280/20,987 = 34.688 printed as 34.6; 9/21 = 42.857 printed as 42.8). Nothing has been recomputed; these checks were used only to confirm the digits read. Dash rules ("——") in percent cells are transcribed as empty strings, per instruction. All number columns were cross-checked against their subtotals and all sum correctly.
p. 222. Continuation page: the first two rows ("Circuit court of appeals decree", "Supreme Court action") belong to a method section whose heading row is on the preceding page and is not shown on this crop. 18 columns: stub, then "All C cases" over three columns (Number / Percent of total closed / Percent of total method) and seven two-column panels (CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP cases), each Number / Percent of total closed. Dash rules ("——") in percent columns and the string of leader dots in the CP cases percent cell of "By circuit court of appeals decree" are transcribed as empty cells. The scan drops some decimal points in percent cells; I read them as decimals because every other value in those columns is printed to one decimal place. Affected cells (row label — column — as it appears on the scan): "Supreme Court action" — All C percent of total closed — "00"; "After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing" (Withdrawal block) — All C percent of total closed — "09"; "After hearing opened, before administrative law judge's decision" (Withdrawal block) — CA percent "00", CB percent "00", CP percent "03"; "After Board or court decision" — All C percent of total method — "00"; "Before issuance of complaint" (Dismissal block) — All C percent of total closed "34 3", All C percent of total method "97 4", CB percent "51 9", CC percent "15 9"; "Adopting administrative law judge's decision (no exceptions filed)" — CA percent "00"; "Contested" — CA percent "05"; "10(k) actions..." — All C percent of total closed "08"; "Otherwise..." — CB percent "00". In the CD cases Number column of both "Before issuance of complaint" rows the printed entry is a parenthesised raised 2, i.e. a footnote reference standing in place of a figure; transcribed as "(^2)". Two row labels repeat verbatim in the Withdrawal and Dismissal blocks ("Before issuance of complaint"; "After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing"; "After hearing opened, before administrative law judge's decision"); order preserves which block each belongs to. Not corrected: the "Percent of total method" column for "10(k) actions" and "Otherwise..." prints 0.0 although those rows are separate methods with nonzero counts, and the "Dismissal" subcomponents in CB/CC do not visibly sum to the printed section percentages — transcribed as printed.
