The attached article from Electronics World 1970 January gives a picture of the American situation at the time. Clearly, by then 75-ohm coaxial was very much an established alternative to 300-ohm twin.

This advertisement from 1966 I think represents an early incursion of 75-ohm coaxial into what was then still a 300-ohm twin domain.
But screened 300-ohm twin was also a contender, one that in the event was pushed aside by 75-ohm coaxial.
Cheers,
Steve
