The tinkle could be quite useful in indicating when an extension was in use, and sometimes the other gong would indicate when they had hung up.

I am sure bell tinkle featured in some old whodoneit, perhaps one with Margaret Rutherford playing Miss Marple.

Not the one with the party-line however,
"You needed take that tone with me young man... Indeed I do have a crime to report... Murder. Murder most foul".
