In such a historical overview, you have to make a selection.
Of course, there are other machines also to be considered mainframes,
for example General Electric machines or machines in foreign countries,
Europe
or the Soviet Union. Some of them were very powerful and sophisticated
and built in much
larger numbers than, for example, the IBM 7030 Stretch. So IMHO the
selection
is a little bit biased vs. USA and IBM, but that's OK for me, as long as
it does
not say that it is supposed to cover the "whole story".
Kind regards

But they skipped the 610,
A bit underpowered to be considered a mainframe. Wasn't it
contemporaneous with the much faster 704?
