Most likely 425 Hz shift rather than 450 Hz shift.
Also,
WPM= (Bd/UC)*60 [s/min]/6 [char/word]=(Bd/UC)*10.  The 6 come from the
reference word "Paris".   Where Bd=Baud rate and UC=Unit Code  (7.5 if the
stop bit is 1.5 times as long as the other bits (common in Europe, and 7 3/7
if older U.S., and 7.0 if all Baudot bits are the same length).  Using 50 Bd
give 66.66 WPM.  (The mathematician part of me just could not keep quite.)
