I will refer to a earlier comment I made 
David ask me what my thoughts were on rolling mills and I agreed with him hence my use of the term modern rolling.I have in my work shop pre 1879 wrought iron, with the milling scale on while the surface is smooth it has slight imperfections in it. We must consider wether they used stone or iron rollers,and the purity of iron and if surface contaminants are present, will mark the surface especially milling scale comeing off and going through the rollers,and would they have surface finishing machines to remove the milling scale like the finish we get today.Here is a pic of the iron plate.
