Ran across a drawing notation specifying: 'Higby first and last thread'. I'm assuming this is asking for a blunt start thread but am curious as to the term's origin and as to whether it is or was ever in common usage.

It is common at our shop. And yes it means blunt start.

You can check Machinist Handbook.
