The 3705 is a 16 bit machine, while the 360/50 internally was a
32 bit machine.  The ALU in the 360/50 was a 32 bitter.  The ALU
in the smaller 360 machines was an 8 bitter.  For the 360/50 
the memory bandwidth was 32 bits also. In fact almost all the functional
units in the 360/50 cpu worked on a 32 bit wide path.
Actually, the 3705 architectually was very much like the System/7.
