Jack:

Thanks ... I had already found this on your site, and it is the best document I have found so far.

But where did it originate? Certainly, somewhere back in time, there was an official designation for this. Otherwise, who deterimines whether an edge #1 (or any other edge) is "good" or "bad", and how would you be able to show compliance? MIL-S-13165 requires the number 1 square edge, so this requirement has been around for quite awhile. Surely an industry spec ... or perhaps some sort of steel rolling mill bible ... spells this out.
