Do you mean like Steinway's (S)mall, (M)edium, (L)arge, (B)ig and (D)amned 
big? (To quote Joe Bisceglie)

My Baldwin service manual lists treble music wire sizes for Baldwin built 
scales:

4'8"  Howard
4'10" Hamilton
5'2"  Hamilton TW
5'2"  M - 2 scales for M ( w/w/o Accujust), one for M-2
5'6/5'8"  G, R - 2 "ST" scales,
5'8" (somehow forgets W with scale SE)
6'3"  L - scales C and SC
7'0"  F, SF, SF10
9'0"  D, SD6, SD10, SD10A

I don't see a pattern or naming scheme.
