Dawe Instruments of London was the maker of at least two cameras, in the years following the Second World War. Advertisements reproduced at Graces Guide give a company address in Brentford in 1947, and two addresses in Ealing in later years. Dawe made a wide variety of electronic instruments, including oscilloscopes and stroboscopes. Perhaps in a progression from the stroboscope business, the company produced both studio and portable photographic flash units. The two cameras marketed by Dawes both allow for a camera-mounted flash; this uses a gas-discharge tube, not disposable flash-bulbs.
