Neither Safetran nor WCH made a 3rd gen mechanical bell, at least last I knew. Don't forget that Safetran type-3s had a low and high tone.

Yes, GE ebells exist.

Some ya missed:
Invensys Rail ebells (low and high tone)
Siemens ebells (low and high tone)
RRS 1220
RRS Style D
RRS Motor (666)
WRRS Motor (666)
Adjusted GS Type-1
WRRS 666
Westinghouse hybrid (Sorta)
Federal Signal mbell
Magnetic Flagman (wig wags)
RSI/OK Rail ebells

Those are all that my 2:00am brain can think of. There are probably more I'm forgetting about.

Hall Signal Co (flat sides, less than 5 exist)
Chicago Railway Signal & Supply (various styles, 1 or more round bells exist, several locomotive style bells exist OOS at Chicago drawbridges)
Louisville Frog Switch & Signal (1 or more supposedly exist)
US&S pre teardrop (1 or more supposedly exist)
Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".
