Reader’s notes

p. 26. No column headings are printed on this crop, so header_rows is empty. The table is a staggered indented listing with no column rules: the values sit at three distinct horizontal positions that track the three indent levels of the row labels, so they are transcribed as three value columns (column 1 = innermost/leftmost position holding 379 and 18; column 2 = middle position holding 426; column 3 = rightmost position holding 1139 and 720). If the source is instead meant as a single value column with staggered numbers, all five values would collapse into one column. The crop cuts the table off: it ends after the "Supplemental" line and the body evidently continues below (no total line or representation-case section is visible). "Total Board decisions" 1139 and "Contested decisions" 720 are printed in bold and underlined; that is emphasis, not a footnote marker, and 1139 is printed without a digit-grouping comma. The label "Initial (includes those based on stipulated record)" wraps over two printed lines and has been joined. A small stray ink speck sits above the first row near the top centre of the crop; it is not a value. Leader dots have been dropped from all labels.

p. 27. This crop is a continuation of a table begun on the preceding page: no column headings are printed on the image, so header_rows is empty. The table is set as a stepped list in which the horizontal position of each figure marks its level of aggregation; I read three numeric columns, right-aligned at roughly three different positions, plus the stub. Column 1 holds the innermost detail figures, column 2 holds the category subtotals (287, 7), and column 3 holds the outermost figure (419). The assignment is corroborated by the arithmetic as printed: 2+56+229=287, 5+0+2=7, and 199+216+4=419. The first two rows ("Backpay", "Determinations in jurisdictional disputes") are detail lines belonging to a category heading printed on the previous page, which is not visible in this crop. The crop also appears to end mid-table: the rightmost column's figure 419 is set in bold and underscored, which in this table style usually means a grand total line follows below the visible area. No footnotes appear on this crop. The leader dots before "12" in the "Backpay" row are broken/smudged in the scan, but the figure 12 itself is clear.
