Hi David yes I think I have seen similar but not as low as that. If you compare the suspension points the different vibrational mode should obvious.....the suspension point is at a node. I think some of these are quite difficult to excite, I have not seen any suggested circuits but I have not looked too hard.

Hi Tom dividing down wasn't always necessary I have sample from the UK GPO
Crystal Factory of NT-cut bars, quartz tuning fork, and Gapped Ring
crystals, the latter marked 400cps (pre Hertz :-))  )  I think these are
post WWII because they are mounted in IO base GT style tube envelopes.
Dividers were achieved with neons and locked multivibrators, where
necessary, I believe.

================================

I have one "500 c/s" GEC crystal in an octal base which is thinner than a "60 Kc/s" one, so a different mode. Never had it working, though.
