>This leads to an intriguing mystery: why is it so widely believed that
Pavlov used a bell in salivary conditioning when he didn't?

as far as I remember an attempt to answer to your question may be found in 
Goodwin, C. J. (1991). Misportraying Pavlov's apparatus. _American Journal
of Psychology, 104_, 135-141.

Goodwin traced the origins of the drawing one normally finds in textbooks
when Pavlovian conditioning is described, which was not made by Pavlov.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the article in my files to refresh my memory
(borrowed and never returned maybe), but I still have some of the pictures.
If anyone is interested please contact me directly for a scan, so that the
list is not clogged up with unwanted attachments.


Regards,
Rainer
