Reader’s notes

p. 166. Crop/footnotes: the table carries two footnote markers in the headings ("Number of proceedings^1" and "Board dismissal^2"), but the footnote text itself falls below the bottom edge of this crop — only the very top of the rule/first footnote line is visible, so `footnotes` is empty and the footnote text should be recovered from the full page. Stub heading: the top-left cell of the header block is blank on this page (no stub heading is printed), so cell 0 of every header row is "". Dash rules: every cell printed as "----" (a dash rule meaning "not applicable") is transcribed as "". On the "Proceedings decided by U.S. Supreme Court" row the dash in the "Board dismissal" percentage column is printed slightly shorter ("---") than its neighbours; treated identically as "". Apparent printed inconsistency (transcribed as printed, not corrected): in the "On petitions for review and/or enforcement" row the "Board dismissal^2" count is printed as 0, yet its "Board dismissal" percentage is 100.0, and the detail line "Board orders set aside" below it shows a Board-dismissal count of 1 (which also matches the 1 shown on the top "Proceedings decided by U.S. courts of appeals" line). The subtotal column therefore looks like it should read 1; it is printed as 0. Row-label wrapping: "Court orders directing compliance without contempt adjudication" and "Board's request for remand or modification of enforcement order denied" each occupy two printed lines with their values aligned on the second line; each is transcribed as one row. All other column sums cross-check against the printed subtotals (Total 92+16+4+3+17=132; employers 87+16+4+3+16=126; unions 5+0+0+0+1=6; court orders 10+5+0+4=19).
