Default Tool - name and source?

Wilfred Xavier Pickles wrote the following:
Looks like little (I think metal) wafers, used to measure/compare
thicknesses. (Presumably) One for 1/32", one for 1/16", etc etc.
Principally used by machinists?

I saw them described in a Woodsmith years ago, thought "I've needed
those for years!" and *thought* I'd remember the name and get
around to finding a source eventually. Hah! :-)

Ring any bells?

Thx,
Will


No bells on wafer type feelers
But would any of these help you out?
