98 of 102 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 155. Eleven columns: the stub plus five two-column panels (All R, RC, RM, RD, UD cases), each with Number and Percent. The stub heading "Method and stage of disposition" spans both heading levels, so it is repeated in each. "After:" is a printed section line carrying a label and no values; its ten value cells are empty. The three indented lines that follow it ("Consent election", "Stipulated election", "Expedited election", plus "Regional Director-directed election" and "Board-directed election") are detail lines of "Certification issued, total" and are transcribed at their own single-row level, since indentation is not representable in the grid. The label "After Regional Director's decision and direction of election" is printed on two lines (the second, "election", indented); its values sit on the second printed line. It is transcribed as one row. All arithmetic in the image is internally consistent, so no misprint is suspected: All R = RC + RM + RD in every row (4,399 + 137 + 770 = 5,306; 2,815 + 30 + 363 = 3,208); the three method totals sum to the grand total (3,208 + 1,820 + 278 = 5,306); and each method's detail lines sum to its own total (certification 14 + 2,757 + 3 + 356 + 78 = 3,208; withdrawal 378 + 1,246 + 63 + 122 + 11 = 1,820; dismissal 96 + 78 + 7 + 88 + 9 = 278). Nothing was computed or corrected; every cell is as printed. The apostrophe in "Regional Director's" is a typographic right single quote in the scan and is rendered here as a plain apostrophe. No cells were illegible or doubtful, and nothing appears cut off by the crop: the table's rule, the footnote line and the bottom of the body are all inside the image. The caption's raised 1 belongs to the omitted caption, not to any cell.
