What does MFI speed/rpm sensor look like ?

I am trying to locate the rpm/speed sensor on my 73'. The diagrams I find show a round metal part about the size of a C cell battery. Is this correct ? I could use a visual if possible .
Thanks

On my 69, the sensor looks more like a small silver rectangular box.
It is bolted to the electrical panel on the left side of the engine compartment.

RPM Transducer

I thought that was the part in question. The box relay has been referred to as the RPM transducer in my sources . So I guess the description was the source of my confusion .I viewed a relay panel diagram that showed the round part described as "speed sensor " . That is the problem with Haynes type multi year info when you are trying to learn this stuff .
I wish I could find year specific manual for reference but per Bentley website they dont offer it. Thank you for the help.

Search here for "Ultimate MFI resources" thread and find more information than anywhere else about the MFI speed switch.
