What is the proper way to transcribe a random number table? The one I have contains four-digit numbers in 10 columns and 10 rows without headings.
Thank you.Would it be possible for you to post a scanned image of what it is you are referring to? Thanks.
BettyI received an email from NBA forummoderator advising me that Betty posted a response to my original question. I attached a copy of the table to my email reply on June 13th. Was anyone able to review it? If you cannot access the table there, please let me know how to attach it to a posting on this site.

Even though this is called a table in print, it does not meet the criteria of a table by definition. By this, I mean that the information is not arranged in rows and columns with headings that are necessary to the understanding of the rest of the information.
Since it seems that the reader in this situation is are only using one row at a time, perhaps each row of numbers could be brailled across from left to right in a 1/3 list type of format preceded by a row number identifier, as follows.Row 1: 2596 , 3623 , 1053 , 2161 , 8550 , 9672, , 1044 , 9852 , 8935 , 8727
Row 2: 12393 , 1231 , 2795 , 2036 , 5138 , 7488 , 5814 , 2086 , 5397 , 8073
etc. …You would need to include a transcriber’s note explaining the change in structure and the addition of the commas.
