0 of 87 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 188. The crop is printed sideways (the page was not rotated upright); I read it rotated into normal reading orientation, so "left to right" below refers to the upright table. 13 columns: stub + 4 court groups x 3. Header level question: "Number of proceedings" sits one level above "Total—all courts" / "In courts of appeals" / "In district courts" / "In bankruptcy courts" and I read it as spanning all 12 numeric columns; the rotated text makes its exact horizontal span hard to pin down, so an alternative reading in which it spans only the 9 columns to the right of "Total—all courts" cannot be fully excluded. Dash cells: "Nash Finch complaint" and "Objection to Board claim in bankruptcy" carry dash rules (not zeros) in all three "In courts of appeals" columns; these are transcribed as "". Every other cell in the body is a printed figure. Doubtful cells: (a) "To enforce subpoena", "In courts of appeals / Upholding Board position" — the glyph is a 1 flanked by scan speckle that looks like small rules; read as 1, which is what the row and column totals require. (b) "To enforce subpoena", "In district courts / Contrary to Board position" — a stray mark sits above the printed 0; read as 0. (c) The split between "Contempt of discovery in FOIA" (read 1 / 1 / 0) and "Motion to intervene in District Ct." (read 1 / 0 / 1) is the least certain pair on the page: the subtotals only require that exactly one of the two rows carry the upholding unit, and the two readings are arithmetically interchangeable. (d) Row 12's label punctuation is faint; read as "Other; Post Judgement discovery" (could be a comma). "Judgement" is spelled as printed. Arithmetic: all internal checks pass as printed — number decided = upholding + contrary in every row; total-all-courts = appeals + district + bankruptcy in every row; the indented detail rows sum to "To restrain NLRB from", "To compel NLRB to" and "Other"; those three plus "To review nonfinal orders" sum to "Action by other parties"; and "NLRB-initiated actions or interventions" + "Action by other parties" = "Totals—all types". No misprints detected. The entire "In bankruptcy courts" group is 0 for every row.
