The 418-III is a better comparison, of a more powerful 360 than the /20.
The proposal basically says pick between the 418-III or you can buy a 9000
series and if necessary dial into a time sharing system we recommend (see
brochure at the end of the proposal).

Hot business women posing with classic UNIVAC hardware and a link to
a very rare 1968 business proposal by UNIVAC to Philip Morris, an
attempt to sell either a 418-III or 9400, pricing, comparison with
IBM 360 models. Included with the proposal were a handful of product
brochures. I scanned some of my favorite photos.
Models? Wasn't the 9300 basically an instruction-compatible model of
the S/360 Model 20? I think the 9400 was the bottom end 360/30 model
compatible. Calling the Model 20 a "member of the System 360 line" has
always been a bit of a stretch in my book.
So small cheese in terms of sales proposals, but interesting
nonetheless. Thanks!
