How to locate clock crystal (Mhz) on Baldor rack board

This image shows what to look for when finding out what clock / crystal speed you have fitted to a Denford VME rack based control system:

NB, 16Mhz is the highest speed ever used.
Other clock speeds (eg, 14Mhz) will not work with some versions of the DOS firmware EPROM
