Ricky,
You have access to email and you can't get to Google?
A quick bit of research told me that gauge was defined in terms of how much 
a square foot of steel would weigh if it were that thickness, thus lots of 
variation in how thick it really should be. One definition says:
"According to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), a one-inch thick 
piece of bare steel weighs 41.82 pound (669.12 oz.) per square foot. In our 
example of 24 gauge material, (16 oz.) the thickness of the steel is .0239" 
(16/669.12)."
Gotta love ineffective measurements!
