0 of 75 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 150. Structure: 16 columns = stub ("Type of Litigation", which spans all four heading levels) plus five court groups of three columns each. Within each group the first column heading "Number decided" spans heading levels 3 and 4 and is repeated in both; "Court Determination" spans the group's second and third columns at level 3 and is repeated in both. Footnote marker without text: the row label "Comply with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)^1 (in camera inspection)" carries a raised 1, but no footnote text is printed within the crop; the footnote presumably falls below the bottom edge, so `footnotes` is empty. Possible truncation: the crop ends immediately after the row "To issue decision or take specific action", with no visible closing rule or footnote block, so the table may continue past the bottom edge of this image. Arithmetic as printed (not corrected): the "Action by other parties" line reads 8 / 8 / 0 in the total-all-courts group, but its visible sub-rows "To review:" (1), "To restrain NLRB from:" (1), "To compel NLRB to:" (3), "Joinder" (0) and "To issue decision or take specific action" (0) sum to 5. This is consistent with further sub-rows being cut off below the crop. All other printed totals are internally consistent: "Totals—all types" 11 = 3 + 8, and the across-court splits add correctly. Dashes: "Total – all courts" is printed with an en dash; "Totals—all types" and "NLRB—initiated actions or interventions" with em dashes. Hyphenated line breaks in the headings were rejoined ("Num-ber decid-ed" → "Number decided", "Uphold-ing" → "Upholding", "Con-trary" → "Contrary", "posi-tion" → "position"). Leader dots after row labels were dropped. No cell was illegible or doubtful.
p. 151. Continuation page of Table 21; the column headings are reprinted here, so header_rows is filled. 15 data columns = 5 court groups ("Total – all courts", "In courts of appeals", "In district courts", "In bankruptcy courts", "In state courts") x 3 columns each; within each group "Number decided" is a tall heading spanning the third and fourth heading levels, and "Court Determination" spans the group's second and third columns. "Total – all courts" is printed with an en dash. "Other" is a category line that carries its own totals (3/3/0 etc.); the seven indented lines below it are its subdivisions. Footnote 1 concerns FOIA cases, but no superscript 1 is legible on the "Denying attorney's fees in FOIA" label on this crop — the marker is presumably printed on an earlier part of the table (previous page). Row labels use typographic apostrophes ("Board's", "attorney's") as printed. The leftmost body rows are preceded by leader dots, which have been dropped; the last row ("State claims preempted by §§ 8(b)(4) & 303") has no leader dots.
