627 of 627 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 181. The crop is the first page of the table; it is cut off immediately after the "Maine" row (the New England division is incomplete and its divisional subtotal, the remaining divisions, the U.S. total line and the footnote texts fall on the following page). Footnote markers 1 (on the stub heading "Division and State") and 2 (on "Total elections") are printed in the headings, but no footnote text appears on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. The last column's heading is printed broken across lines as "Eligible employ-/ees in/units/choos-/ing rep-/resentati/on" and has been rejoined as "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". Horizontal double rules separate the divisional groups (East North Central, East South Central, Middle Atlantic, Mountain); the division names are printed as indented subtotal rows, not as section headings, and carry values. All divisional subtotals shown add correctly down their columns from the state rows above them, which supports the digit readings. No illegible or doubtful cells.
p. 182. Continuation page: no footnote texts are printed on this image, although the markers "1" (Division and State) and "2" (Total elections) appear in the column headings; their texts must be on another page of the table. The "New England" subtotal row does not equal the sum of the New England state rows shown here (e.g. total elections 18 vs. 12 for the four states printed), because Connecticut and Maine fall on the preceding page of this continued table. The "Outlying Areas" and "Pacific" subtotals do reconcile with the rows printed above them. The crop ends mid-division: the South Atlantic block that begins with Delaware is cut off after North Carolina, and its subtotal row plus any remaining states continue on the following page. All cells are crisply printed; no doubtful or illegible values. The heading "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" is printed broken across lines as "Eligible employ- ees in units choos- ing rep- resentati on" and has been rejoined.
p. 183. This image is a continuation page ("—Continued"): the body starts mid-table with South Carolina, so the South Atlantic subtotal row covers states listed on earlier pages, and the geographic divisions preceding South Atlantic are not on this crop. Column headings are reprinted on this page, so they are transcribed. The three division subtotal rows (South Atlantic, West North Central, West South Central) and the grand total are printed indented in the stub and set off by rules; they are transcribed with their printed wording. All printed values are legible; no doubtful cells. Internal checks of the subtotal rows against the states shown (West North Central and West South Central, which are complete on this page) and of the grand total's additive columns are all consistent as printed.
