Reader’s notes

p. 226. The scan is a 1-bit image in which small decimal points frequently drop out, so several percent cells print as e.g. \"61 1\", \"10\", \"13\", \"75\"; they are transcribed with the decimal point (61.1, 1.0, 1.3, 7.5) because the column is uniformly one-decimal and the values are arithmetically consistent. Specific instances: RC cases Percent on \"Certification issued, total\" (61.1); RM cases Percent on the \"Before notice of hearing\" line under Consent election (1.0) and on \"After Regional Director's decision and direction of election\" (1.3); UD cases Percent on \"By dismissal, total\" (7.5).\n\nThe value-less section line between \"Certification issued, total\" and \"Consent election\" reads \"After\" followed by a short mark that is either a colon or an em dash; it is transcribed as \"After:\" but the punctuation is not certain at this resolution.\n\nThe row label \"Total, all\" is followed immediately by leader dots; if a word such as \"cases\" was set there it is not visible.\n\nThe footnote sits at the very bottom edge of the crop and its descenders are clipped, so the exact wording (\"See Glossary of terms for definitions\" vs. a transposed variant) carries some risk; no footnote marker is visible on any row label or column heading in the cropped area, so the referent is presumably the caption, which is outside the crop.\n\nAll arithmetic in the grid is internally consistent, which corroborates the column assignment: within every case-type column the three/five stage lines sum to their group subtotal, the five election methods sum to \"Certification issued, total\", and the three group totals sum to \"Total, all\"; across columns RC + RM + RD equals All R on every row (UD is a separate series, not part of All R). Every printed percent also reproduces as the value over the relevant column total. Nothing was computed or corrected — all cells are as printed.
