or the company.
Searching for "Venner Electronics" on Google finds a few articles from
the 1960s suggesting they were a test equipment manufacturer building
digital voltmeters, frequency counters, oscillators and similar.
For example, here are adverts for some of their products in the
Journal of Scientific Instruments:

The DVM described can be "connected directly to a Venner printer
and/or reperforator, for the operation of which a print command pulse
is provided at the completion of each conversion". Pretty cool stuff
for 1961.
