In the drawing, the term in question looks like 3 lines through the thickness of the steel plate when the plate is wound into a spiral.

(with) edge waves
When steel strips are cold pressed (an initial/intermediate stage of the rolling process) for consistent thickness, the only way thickness irregularities of the material can express themselves out of the strip is 'squirted out' of the rollers' pressure, at the edges of the strip, thus making its linear profiles on either/both sides...irregular or 'wavy', but soon trimmed off 'straight' as part of the same process

Oops! Correction: no way those edge waves appear squirted out of the rollers' pressure (that would be very sloppy processing, and could actually trigger an emergency stop of the rolling line). They can very well appear within the rollers' span, just like a rolled slab of dough, on the kitchen bench.

Comment: "The pdf was very helpful. In the end though I went with a "curvature absorbing section" since the drawing did not show the actual wavy edges very well. Thanks"

"waves and peaks" shape
A bit of a guess here to be honest, but having looked at the drawing, the term seems to refer to the shape of element 14 rather than an actual parts name.
Note from asker:
| Thank you for your advice on this. I decided to describe the function of the part 14 which is stated in the next sentence in the specification. |
Discussion
I am truly baffled by the those 3 lines you mentioned. Could they be kerfs, complementing on the outer diameter what the slots are doing on the inner diameter (apart from latching onto the vertical sections, of course), facilitating the sharp coiling of the material? I find that unlikely: they would be too deeply cut and undermine the integrity of the pulled material before it reaches the spline.
Could this be a drawing convention to indicate the periodic ripple-shaping of the outer surface of the material when hardly visible but still so on the drawing (with a shorter length for vertices than for the sides of those 'triangles', corresponding to one mild width-wise depression exactly on the opposite side of each slot?) in other words, a means to facilitate the yield of those flexural lines of the material called upon to bend to form the coil, and achieving this outcome by reducing material thickness at those specific boundaries. If so, would have gone for: "thickness modulation' of the material.
More comments welcome...
