1 "Proceedings" are comparable to "cases" reported in annual reports prior to fiscal 1964. This term more accurately describes the data inasmuch as a single "proceeding" often includes more than one "case." See Glossary of terms for definitions.
2 A proceeding in which the Board had entered an order dismissing the complaint and the charging party appealed such dismissal in the courts of appeals.
3 The Board appeared as "amicus curiae" in 0 case[s].

43 of 52 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 185. The stub column carries no printed heading, so cell 0 of each heading level is empty. Dash rules ("——") in the Percentages and cumulative columns are transcribed as empty cells. Several decimal points are broken or nearly invisible in this scan; in each case the digits are unambiguous and the arithmetic confirms the decimal, so I transcribed the point: "On petitions for review and/or enforcement" / Percentages-Board dismissal prints as "100 0" (= 100.0); "Remanded to Board" (courts of appeals block) / Percentages-Vs. unions only prints as "13,3" with a comma-like mark (= 13.3); "Board orders partially affirmed and partially remanded" / Percentages-Vs. employers only prints as "40" (= 4.0, i.e. 4 of 101); "Court orders directing compliance without contempt adjudication" / Percentages-Vs. unions only prints as "250" (= 25.0, i.e. 1 of 4); Supreme Court "Board orders affirmed in full" / Percent prints as "60 1" (= 60.1, i.e. 152 of 253); "Board's request for remand or modification of enforcement order denied" / Percent prints as "0 4" (= 0.4). All printed totals are internally consistent: 135+19+0+4=158; 120+38=158; the five review/enforcement detail rows sum to 120 and their cumulative percentages to 100.0; the eight Supreme Court detail rows sum to 253 and to 100.0.
