Old tube tester tube data question

I have an old Lafayette portable tube tester (I think it's model TE-21 but
I don't remember offhand; probably not important) and I'm curious about the
meaning of notation on the tube data paper scroll.

The tester has 10 switches, each of which may be set "up", "down", or
left in the center position.

Per-tube data on the scroll indicates which switches should be set "up" and
which "down".  I assume all the others should be placed in the center
position.

The question is this:  some of the numbers indicated on the scroll for
"up" or "down" for some tubes are printed in bold type (most are
in regular type).  What does bold type indicate?

Replies directly to me, please.  Thanks.
