Most of the early 360 machines had some kind of emulation on then. Where I was stationed while in the Army, we were preparing for the installation of a 360/40 that had 1410 emulation. After I made it back to (civilian) life, my employer had a 360/30 that ran TOS and had 1401 emulation. We also had a 360/50 for which there was a 7080 emulation feature that could be purchased. I think that the 360/60 also boasted optional emulation features.

Are you sure? It looks like the Tax Commission room in the basement of the capital building. I am sure they had a 360-25 running DOS. We had a 360-50 (my roommates machine x2) and ran both OS/MFT and 1401 emulation on it.
