The 1410 and 7010 were more than relatives. They ran the same
software. The 7010 was, in essence a 1410 implemented in the technology
used for the 7090/7094 series machines.
As was pointed out here, the 7030 Stretch was quite a different animal.

Very clear concise
description. (This may have been for the 7010?)
The 7010 was a much, much smaller computer. A relative of the 1410 and a
commercial machine. The 7030 was the largest of machines at the time and
took up a full room that must (from memory) been 2000 square feet. We used
a 1401 to create input tapes and print output tapes for it. The largest
IBM machine that was sold in quantity at the time was the 7094-II.
