:[This title stands below a huge section of blocks, which are not framed in, but it is fairly clear which belongs to the section. It is right below the US household income block. It is divided in 17 groups which are all labeled. Most of them have been divided into smaller segments. These are also all labeled. The groups are divided into columns. The first four with two groups in each, then in the fifth there are three groups in the “upper” part of the column – one is located in the middle of the column – four in total. The sixth column is a narrow half column. This also has two groups, but the second group is only half way down. The last and seventh column has three groups. The titles of the left groups are to the left – at the top of each group. The rest of the groups at the top or bottom have their title at the top or bottom respectively – sometimes floating quite a distance away from their group due to the segment labels. Those that are located in the middle has their labels below in the first, above in the second and to the right in the outer case. For those two in the middle of the block the title is written smaller – same size as the segmentation labels. For the rest the titles are written in a much larger font than the other labels. In two cases a square bracket with a line up to a label has been used to mark a segment. Else the label is written close to the segment. (Except for a case where this may have been forgotten – see below under ''Agriculture''). There are several errors; these will be mentioned after each group is finished. Here should though be mentioned that the sum total of all the groups is 50 billion dollars to high. This is due to two mistakes in group headings; one where two ciphers have been changed and another where a 3 has been turned into an 8.  However, the total number of blocks is 7 to high, but this seems to be a mistake, so there is good reason to believe there is no error in total for US GDP. There is a general error that should be mentioned here, which is that the sums of the segments almost never add up to the sum total of the groups. But most often it is an error of about 0.1 billion, except from four clear errors which will be mentioned in the transcript below – however, what happened with those last $100,000,000 is hard to guess... The groups (with their segment and then errors) will be listed from top to bottom in the seven columns mentioned:]

:[The first groups segments are also split in 11 segments which are sorted in two columns. Here they are listed top to bottom as their segment appears in the group. The second to last is one of those marked by a square bracket. The label actually stands above the segment just above it. But it will, as stated, be mentioned second to last.]
