Arno
The switch is made by Arno. Arno is a typical European name, but no company of electric parts was found. Only in Italy Arno elettronica SRL exists. It’s unclear if this Arno is the maker and that the company existed in the 1960s. However, Arno is a common name in Germany. The socket is made by VS Electronic Vertriebs GmbH from Aschaffenburg in Germany. The plug is made by EP (unknown company).
The Arno is also a river in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is the most important river of central Italy after the Tiber, the third-longest river in the country. The Tiber passes through Rome before it flows into the sea.
