Fed-Std-595B (Rev B Chg 1 - 11 Jan 94) is available from the General
Services Administration....
GSA is the only "official" source for either the binder or the fan that I'm
aware of.... you could probably get a set from a grand master model builder
(ships, tanks, etc.) thru unofficial channels (modelling newsgroups or
Ebay, f'rinstance).
HTH -- I have a few links to FAQs on the subject if you need 'em (say, if
you needed to explain why the electronically-derived Olive Drab [FS 34087]
looks nothing like the swatch ;-)
