0 of 60 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 196. Grid is 16 columns: stub plus five court groups (Total – all courts, In courts of appeals, In district courts, In bankruptcy courts, In state courts), each with Number decided / Upholding Board position / Contrary to Board position. In each group the "Number decided" cell is a tall box spanning the "Court Determination" level and the level below, so it is repeated in both header levels 3 and 4. Internal sums suggest the table continues beyond this crop: "Action by other parties" is 7 (total all courts) and 4 (district courts), but the itemized rows printed below it ("To review:" 0, "To restrain NLRB from:" 0, "To compel NLRB to:" 3, "To issue decision or take specific action" 0) sum to only 3, with 0 in every district-courts cell. The last printed row sits on the bottom rule of the crop; further detail rows (including the district-court items) appear to be on the following page. "Totals—all types" (9) and "NLRB—initiated actions or interventions" (2) are internally consistent as printed. Row labels use the printed punctuation: em dashes in "Totals—all types" and "NLRB—initiated actions or interventions"; a curly apostrophe in "Bd's"; the group heading reads "Total – all courts" with an en dash. Leader dots after labels were dropped; the trailing period in "Vacate election/Decertify Rep." is part of the abbreviation and was kept. No footnote markers and no footnotes are printed under the table. All cells are legible; no doubtful digits.
p. 197. Continuation page of Table 21; the column headings are reprinted in full on this crop, so they are transcribed. 16 columns: stub plus five court groups of three columns each (Number decided / Upholding Board position / Contrary to Board position). In each group the "Number decided" column is a tall heading box with no sub-head above it, so it is repeated in the two lowest heading levels; "Court Determination" spans only the second and third columns of each group. The dash in "Total – all courts" is printed as an en dash. Row labels are transcribed exactly as printed, including two apparent misprints in the original: "Collateral Estoppal" (for "Estoppel") and "by Bd aents" (for "by Bd agents"). "Board's" uses a typographic apostrophe in the source. The crop begins mid-table with the "Other" line, whose indented detail lines follow; the seven detail values in the first column (0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0) do sum to the printed "Other" total of 4. No footnotes are printed beneath the table on this page.
