[GreenKeys] Baudot ASCII conversion table

Regarding the recent posts on USB-serial adapters, and conversion from ASCII to Baudot, I have made a custom table, for converting between 
ASCII and Baudot.  No tables I found listed Baudot Letters and Figures, along with ASCII values.  If you are making a conversion program, it will 
save you a little trouble.  The left table lists the first 32 ASCII characters, which are the non-printable characters, also called printer control codes.  
They are of course the Baudot code.  The table lists binary, decimal, Baudot Letter, US Figures and CCITT Figures.  The right table lists the entire 
128 value ASCII set.  Both tables also list hex and octal values.  As you can see, the first 32 entries of the right table make no mention of Baudot 
characters, referring to them as control codes instead.  The tables are different in size, I tried re-sizing them, to make them the same height, but it 
made them difficult to read.

I’ve posted the photo on my Teletype FLICKR page.  Just click on the ASCII Baudot table photo set.

You can download any of my FLICKR photos, but finding the link is a little clumsy.  When viewing individual photos, the link to download them is 
three small circles on the right, with a pop up that says More Actions.  To easily download the table, just click on the link below.
