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 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.
