0 of 17 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 22. No column headings are printed on this crop, so header_rows is empty. The table is a two-column indented list: a stub of row labels and one column of counts; the counts are not strictly aligned on a common right margin (the leader dots simply run up to each figure, e.g. "6" ends well left of the other figures), but they all belong to the single value column. "500" and "330" are printed in bold with an underline and set further right than the subordinate figures; that typographic emphasis is not reproduced in the cells. The crop almost certainly cuts the table off at the bottom: "Representation decisions 88" is the last visible line, with no sub-rows beneath it and no "Uncontested decisions" line, and the hierarchy as printed does not add up — 186 + 35 + 14 + 6 = 241 agrees with the "Unfair labor practice decisions" line, but 241 + 88 = 329 against the printed "Contested decisions" figure of 330. Values transcribed exactly as printed; nothing computed or corrected. All characters are crisp and legible; no doubtful cells.
p. 23. Continuation crop: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. The table is a single-value leader-dot list; the figures are set in a staircase, with the horizontal position of each number indicating the indent/hierarchy level of its label rather than a separate column — deepest-indent items ("for initial decisions", "decisions", "On objections and/or challenges", "Clarification of bargaining unit", "Amendment to certification", "Union-deauthorization", "Unfair labor practice", "Representation", "Other") sit furthest left, "Other decisions" (1) one step right, and "Noncontested decisions" (170) furthest right. All have been placed in one value column. The 170 on the "Noncontested decisions" line is printed in bold and underlined (a total line); no formatting is carried into the cell. The first two rows each wrap onto two printed lines ("After transfer by Regional Directors / for initial decisions" and "After review of Regional Director / decisions") and have been joined. The crop starts mid-list — rows above "After transfer by Regional Directors for initial decisions", including the parent heading they fall under, are cut off at the top; the list may also continue below the bottom edge. No footnote markers appear in the crop.
