112 of 126 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 1 cell breaks a sum: 'Complaints issued', column 3: prints 2,284, columns 4 to 13 add to 2,275.
p. 92. 14 columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", then 12 columns under "Formal actions taken by type of case" (Total; CA; CB; CC; CD split into Jurisdictional disputes and Unfair labor practices; CE; CG; CP; CA combined with CB; C combined with representation cases; Other C combinations). Dash cells: the first three body rows print a short double-dash rule ("--") rather than a number in several columns (all twelve type-of-case columns except CD-jurisdictional in the "10(k) notices" row; the CD-jurisdictional column in the "Complaints issued" and "Backpay specifications issued" rows). Per the transcription rule for dash rules these are given as "" and are distinct from the printed zeros elsewhere in the table. The footnote line at the very bottom is clipped by the crop — only the tops of the letters are visible. It reads as "1 See Glossary of terms for definitions."; the exact final wording/punctuation is not fully legible. The caption carries the same superscript 1. Arithmetic check (not used to alter any cell): every row's type-of-case cells sum exactly to its "Total formal actions taken" value, and each total row equals the sum of its component rows in both the "Cases in which formal actions taken" and "Total formal actions taken" columns (e.g. Board total 421 = 18 consent + 117 adopting + 286 contested; 927 = 40+6+196+3+13+529+3+71+66). No misprints detected. The table may continue on the following page; this crop ends with the contested "Backpay decisions" row followed by the footnote rule.
