From my ASR 33 days, I don't think there was a name to the scheme. The characters corresponded to the decimal position in the alphabet:
Output: 7 = Ctrl G = BELL (The 7th letter in the alphabet is 'G')
9 = Ctrl I = TAB
10 = Ctrl J = LF (Linefeed)
12 = Ctrl L = FF (Formfeed)
13 = Ctrl M = CR (Carriage Return)Lewis
