111 of 114 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 118. The page is a landscape table printed sideways: in the supplied crop the type runs bottom-to-top, with the stub column at the bottom edge of the image and the rightmost data column ("Other C combinations") at the top edge. I read it rotated and report it in normal reading order. 14 columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", then 12 columns under the spanner "Formal actions taken by type of case" (the CD spanner covers two sub-columns, "Jurisdictional disputes" and "Unfair labor practices"). Empty cells: every "" in the grid is a printed dash rule (not-applicable), not a blank. These occur in the CD–Jurisdictional disputes column for the complaint/backpay-specification rows, the backpay- and other-hearings rows, and the whole administrative-law-judge decisions block; and in the CA through "Other C combinations" columns on the "10(k) notices of hearings issued" row. Section lines "Upon consent of parties", "Adopting administrative law judges' decisions (no exceptions filed):" and "Contested:" carry no values. "Upon consent of parties": I could not tell at this resolution whether a trailing colon is printed (the two parallel section labels, "...filed):" and "Contested:", clearly have one). Transcribed without a colon. No footnote marker is legible on any heading, label or value; footnote 1 most likely attaches to the table caption, which is outside this crop. Arithmetic check (not applied to the cells, only used to verify placement): for all 20 data rows the type-of-case columns add exactly to the printed "Total formal actions taken", and the subtotal rows (hearings 344, ALJ decisions 333, Board 617; and 486 / 454 / 1,096 in the "Cases in which formal actions taken" column) agree with their components. No misprints detected.
