On the model 33 (ASCII) teletype, control G, the BEL character, rang a
metal bell inside the box, and it went "ding".
I had a friend who came across an older, Baudot teletype (I think he
said it was a model 27.) It also had a BEL character. He said
instead of going "ding", it went "splat", and a printed character
appeared on the paper in the shape of a bell!

Nonsense. The Model 33 as ASCII but Upper Case only. It
definitely was not Baudot.
The Baudot version of the same thing was a model 28.

So the model-33 wasn't ASCII?
Nope; it was 5-bit Baudot (technically ITA2). Upper case only, and there
were codes to shift between letters and figures. Grep thee the net for
"ASR33".
