Ivan,
Do you know anything about his machines? Make, model #? I'm assuming they'll be sold.

It's Thomson, but that's a tradename. Look on McM pp. 1016-1017

Hardened Precision Shafts
" Inch Sizes? Choose from AISI 1566 steel, chrome-plated AISI 1566 steel, and Type 440C stainless steel. Straightness tolerance is 0.002" per foot."
Perhaps I've not found the correct series.

Getting closer:
Machinable End Shafts Shafts come with 2" of each end already annealed (softened), so machining is a snap. Ideal for linear bearings, slides, and other precision applications.
Possibly page 1018.

I didn't notice that McMaster's spec is looser than Thomson brand, though I'd bet that the straightness is typically better in the larger sizes.
It appears that Thomson may have loosened their straightness tolerance as well, which may explain McM's spec. My old print catalog says better than .001" per foot, this doc says .001/.002 per foot, but no explanation as to when the looser number applies. I'm guessing for smaller diameters.

According to Louis Ohland :
Just out of curiosity, what is that sequence after "Inch Sizes" supposed to be? On my reading screen it shows up as a lower-case 'a' with a '^' over the top, followed by a '^', a 'T' and another '^', but in my editor (during a reply), it shows as again the 'a' with a '^' over it, followed by \200\224. It is obviously some kind of extended ASCII which shows differently on different systems, and I thought that you should know that not everyone sees it the same. :-)
What system are you posting it on?
Thanks, DoN.
I think Character set UTF-8 is the key to getting it decoded/displayed properly (shrug).

Thanks!
And it is rather difficult for me to change characterset encoding once I have the newsreader started.
But I like to read (and post) in plain ASCII, so I can be sure that anyone's reader will see the same thing.
Thanks again, DoN.
