Terry, Roger Cherill was a film editor, who cut some of the Norman Wisdom films as well as Billy Liar, and worked in the sound department on other films including Full Metal Jacket. As you say, at some point he set up a company in his name.
I edited a film at Goldcrest in 1999/2000 and much of their film editing equipment was second hand, some from Elstree and also many items marked Roger Cherill, so I assumed that he must have closed his company at some point and Goldcrest bought his equipment.
In turn, much of this gear was going in skips at the time I worked there, and I saved as much as possible for collectors, so it may be one of the ones I saved that you have there!
