Reader’s notes
p. 88. Crop issues: the footnote block at the foot of the page is sliced by the bottom edge of the crop. Only the top half of the first footnote line is visible; I read it as \"1 See Glossary of terms for definitions\" but the ends of the letterforms and any trailing words/period are cut off, and any further footnotes (including the texts for markers 2 and 3 used in the column headings) are below the crop and not transcribed. The printed page number at the top right is also clipped.\n\nSpelling as printed: the stub of the row transcribed as \"By Admininstrative Law Judges\" is printed with that misspelling (an extra \"in\"); it is kept verbatim.\n\nRow-label indentation is not representable in the grid; several labels repeat at different indent levels (\"Elections directed\", \"Dismissals on record\", \"Other\", \"Affirmed\", \"Modified\", \"Reversed\", \"Granted\", \"Denied\", \"Remanded\", \"By Board\", \"Withdrawn before request ruled upon\", \"Withdrawn after request granted, before Board review\", \"Regional Directors' decisions:\") and are distinguished only by position.\n\nThe two \"total\" section lines \"Decisions issued, total\" and \"Decisions on Objections and/or challenges, total\" have leader dots but empty value boxes in the image; they are transcribed with empty cells.\n\nArithmetic oddities, transcribed as printed, not corrected: the RC/RM/RD/UD cells frequently do not add to the \"Total formal actions taken\" cell (e.g. \"Hearings completed, total\": 248+5+54+3 = 310 vs 307 printed; \"Requests for review received\": 79+10+23+2 = 114 vs 112). Most conspicuous is \"Withdrawn before request ruled upon\" (the first one, under \"Review of Regional Directors' decisions\"), where the UD cell reads 2 while the row total reads 6 and RC alone is 6 — the UD 2 may be a misprint, but the glyph is legible as a 2 in the image.
