Reader’s notes

p. 262. Two printed columns: the stub ("Stage") and "Median days". Section lines (I, II, A, and the "3. Close of hearing to—" / "4. Filing of petition to—" lead-ins) carry no value, so their value cell is "". Row "I Unfair labor practice cases:" is printed with the roman numeral I apparently without a following period (unlike "II."); if a period is present it is lost in the scan. Row "1. Filing of petition of notice of hearing issued" is transcribed as printed; "of notice" looks like a misprint for "to notice of hearing issued" (compare the parallel wording in other years). Not corrected. A small stray ink mark (resembling an apostrophe) sits in the left margin beside "3. Close of hearing to—"; it is not a footnote marker and is omitted. The superscripts on "Age" in rows I.B, I.C (marker 1) and II.B, II.C (marker 2) are footnote markers and are written behind a caret after the word "Age". The two indented "Board decision issued" and "Regional Director's decision issued" labels appear twice, once under section 3 and once under section 4; they are kept as printed without adding the parent wording.
