42 of 54 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 166. Dash rules: very many cells in this table are printed with a short double-hyphen dash rule ("--") rather than a value; per the transcription rule for dash rules these are rendered as "". The affected cells are: the "vs. both employers and unions" percentage column in every body row; the "vs. unions only" percentage column in rows "Board orders affirmed with modification", "Remanded to the Board", "Board orders partially affirmed and partially remanded", "Board orders set aside", "Court orders denying petition or discontinuing proceedings at CLCB request", "Court orders directing compliance without contempt adjudication"; the "Board dismissal" percentage column in rows "On petitions for contempt", "Ancillary proceedings in district courts and/or bankruptcy courts", "Total Court Orders" and its four indented rows; and all four percentage columns plus both cumulative columns where noted in the "Proceedings decided by U.S. Supreme Court" block (all four percentage cells there are "--"). The cumulative "Number" and "Percent" cells are "--" for "Proceedings decided by U.S. courts of appeals and other courts", "On petitions for contempt", "Ancillary proceedings in district courts and/or bankruptcy courts", "Total Court Orders" and its four indented rows. One cell differs: in the first body row ("Proceedings decided by U.S. courts of appeals and other courts") the "Board dismissal" percentage cell is genuinely blank on the page (no dash rule), unlike its neighbours; it is also given as "". The two-line spanner over the last two columns is printed as "July 5, 1936 Sept." / "30, 2005" with no visible connecting dash or "to"; transcribed as printed. Possible misprint in the excluded caption: the title reads "Fiscal Year 2004" while the column spanner over the first nine data columns reads "Fiscal Year 2005" and the cumulative span ends Sept. 30, 2005. Internal arithmetic checks out throughout (e.g. 73+15=88; 56+8+1+6+2=73; 7825+1553+589+268+1592=11827; 155+18+46+20+17+1+1+1=259), except that the cumulative percentages for the review/enforcement block sum to 100.1 rather than the printed 100.0 — transcribed as printed. Footnote markers 1 (Number of proceedings), 2 (Board dismissal, both occurrences) and 3 (Proceedings decided by U.S. Supreme Court) are present, but the footnote texts fall below the bottom of the crop and could not be read; only a sliver of the first footnote's leading mark is visible at the lower left.
