Surface Finish Template

+++++++

I am a Mechanical Engineer. I have the task of specifying surface finishes for mating parts and thermal contact. A collegue of mine, who has left the company, had a metal plate with various surface finishes. Each example surface finish was labled appropriately as to the kind of finish it was. It was very handy because you could actully rub your finger across the particular finish or roughness and get a visual of what it was and felt like. Does anybody know where I could get one of these things? It would also help the young guys no what to put on their drawings without it costing a fortune.
