p. 184. Two printed columns: the stub ("Stage") and "Median days"; the vertical rule falls to the left of the median-days figures only. Within the stub the Roman numerals I. and II. sit at a deeper-left indent than the lettered and numbered lines, but there is no column rule between them, so each Roman-numeral line is transcribed as one stub label ("I. Unfair labor practice cases:", "II. Representation cases:"). Section lines I.A, I.B, I.C, II.A, II.B and II.6 carry a label and no value; II.C ("Age of cases pending Regional Director's decision, September 30, 2006") does carry a value, 273, and is the last body line before the footnote rule. The sub-items under II.6 are printed as "a." and "b." at a deeper indent; they are kept as separate rows. Apostrophes are set as typographic curly marks everywhere except "judge's" in line I.B, which is printed with a straight apostrophe; all are transcribed as a plain apostrophe. The raised 1 at the end of II.A.4 ("Close of pre-election hearing to Board's decision issued") is a footnote marker and is written as ^1. The footnote line is at the very bottom edge of the crop and slightly clipped at the baseline, but fully legible. Nothing else appears cut off; no totals are printed in this table.
