Kurt,
Back in the 80s, I remember seeing these used for new CMOS chips:

Is this what you were thinking?

Subject: [RFI] ESD "Pad"?
In the 1980's, my wife was working on computers, and controllers with very
large connectors, and wiring harnesses, that would be drug around like fire
hoses (small ones, like in an apartment), generating a bit of static. She
described each piece of equipment as having a fairly large static discharge pad
on the side. Before any harnesses were connected, the end of the harness, the
large connector and all the pins, was to be pressed into this pad for a few
moments to bleed off any static build-up.
Any idea what these pads are? I'd like to research them, due to some static
issues that are arising here.
Thanks.
Kurt
