Box containing two varamorph anamorphic lenses.

The "Varamorph" lens was manufactured by Taylor, Taylor & Hobson, a highly respected optical house that had become a division of Rank by this time, and marketed by Gaumont-Kalee. It was designed for Rank's anamorphic 1.85:1 VistaVision, but frequently showed CinemaScope films.
