Nera of England Ltd., Jeffries Passage, High St., Guilford [Jan54]
P.A.M. Ltd., Merrow, Guildford [1957]

In late 1953 or early 1954 the company "Aren" changed it's name to Nera (refer advert for the model C48). Given that the Nera name is associated with projection sets from 1950 perhaps Nera was initially a brand name used by Aren ?
