158 of 158 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 127. 18 columns: stub + "All C cases" (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + seven two-column panels (CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), each Number and Percent of total closed. The "Percent of total method" column exists only under "All C cases". The table is cut off by the crop: it continues on the following page. The last body row shown is "Contested", and the lower part of the ruled frame is blank. This is confirmed arithmetically — "Compliance with" is 622 in the All C Number column but the sub-rows printed here ("Administrative law judge's decision" 20 and "Board decision" 354) total only 374, so further "Compliance with" sub-rows (and any later method sections) fall below the crop. Dash rules of varying length ("---", "----", "-----") are used throughout for "not applicable / no percentage"; per instruction they are transcribed as empty cells. In the "Board decision" row the CG "Percent of total closed" cell is faint and I could not tell whether a short dash rule is printed or the cell is blank; either way it is transcribed as "". Note that the dash rule cells are distinct from printed "0" entries in the Number columns, which are preserved. No footnotes are printed beneath the table on this page; the only marker is the superscript 1 on the caption, which is excluded. Verification: every row's Number cells across CA+CB+CC+CD+CE+CG+CP sum exactly to the "All C cases" Number, the component rows sum to their subtotals (e.g. 204 + 150 = 354; 18 + 2 + 13 = 33), and every printed percentage agrees with the corresponding ratio to one decimal. No misprints detected.
p. 128. 18 columns: stub + "All C cases" (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + seven two-column panels (CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), each Number and Percent of total closed. This is a continuation page: the first two rows ("Circuit court of appeals decree", "Supreme Court action") are sub-items of a method block whose heading is on the previous page, and the sheet ends after "Contested" with the body rule, so the table continues on the following page. Many percent cells print a dash rule ("----", occasionally three dashes as in the CB column of "Supreme Court action"); per the convention these are transcribed as empty strings, while printed zeros in the Number columns are kept as 0. The caption carries a raised footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Indentation in the stub (which marks sub-levels under "Withdrawal" and "Dismissal", and the two deepest rows under "By Board decision") is not representable in the grid and has been dropped. No cell was illegible; all column sums I could check are internally consistent with the printed All-C-cases totals.
p. 129. This is the final continuation page of Table 7; the first two rows ("By circuit court of appeals decree", "By Supreme Court action") are indented sub-items whose parent heading appears on the preceding page, and the body of the table above them is cut off by the crop. Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed. Cells printed as a short dash rule ("----"), used throughout the percent columns to mean no value, are transcribed as empty strings per the convention for dash rules; they are not blanks in the original. Row 4 label: I cannot resolve at this resolution whether a closing parenthesis is printed after "business" before the leader dots; I have supplied ")" to balance the opening parenthesis, matching the style of the "10(k) actions (see Table 7A for details of dispositions)" row where the closing parenthesis is visible. The character between "achieved" and "firm" is transcribed as a hyphen; it may be an en/em dash in the original. Footnote 2's marker does not appear anywhere on this crop (its referent is on an earlier page of the table); footnote 1's marker appears only in the caption, which is excluded.
