I found another reference.  different numbers slightly.

There are a couple different numbering systems. The pin lengths are the 
same, but the number
given to that particular length is different. Fort Lock, such as the Gem 
and Apex locks go clockwise
if you are looking down the barrel of the key from the tip. The Chicago 
Ace style goes counter-clockwise.
Fort Lock numbers them from 1-8 while Chicago goes 0-7.

Fort Lock/Chicago Ace/Depth of cut
1----------0----------.016"
2----------1----------.032"
3----------2----------.048"
4----------3----------.064"
5----------4----------.080"
6----------5----------.096"
7----------6----------.112"
8----------7----------.128"

What I have measured so far.  This starts with the index up, first slot 
to the right, going CCW.
