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.

The first question that comes to mind is “How do we know that SWR stands for
Standing Wave Ratio?”
