Also reference how you counted them, clockwise or counter clockwise.
There may be a standard, in a recent exercise with Jay West (who knows
more on this than I do) the locksmith we went to to have some of Jay's
measured keys made was used to people not recalling when they had the
codes that Fred references.
A friend with a locksmith made keys from Jay's measurements and they
have been verified (the measurements) to make keys from scratch w/o a
master.

Yes. Called a "depth and space reference" (different for
manufacturer, and sometimes blank)
5 years ago, we had a similar discussion:
