Here's some distinct possibilities #1. It was used in an instrument that monitored the water level of a fish pond. SWR = Still Water Reading.
#2. Then again, it may have been a modern version of something to keep track of evil doers in the north as in: SWR = Salem Witch Raids, but the company went out of business early since there wasn't much call for that in modern times since nobody cared. #3. Monty Python may have used the tester to measure audience responses to: SWR = Silly Walks Reaction. #4 In Horse racing, it was a: SWR = Saddle Weight Range, to monitor the thoroughbred's load. #5 Of course, the Lone Ranger may have kept a watch on his bullet production with a: SWR = Silver Working Reserve device at his mine.
