If cookie-cutter suburban tract homes are on one end of the spectrum, these alt. homes are on the other. Whether through use of clever materials or novel forms, these cozy habitats are simultaneously kind on the planet and wallet. Your biggest inhibitor, though, may be getting a permit.

EXCERPT: An analog device is one in which the output or display is a continuous function of time and bears a constant relation to its input.

The analog instruments find extensive use in present day applications although digital instruments are increasing in number and applications. The areas of application which are common to both analog and digital instruments are fairly limited at present.

Hence, it can safely be predicted that the analog instruments will remain in extensive use for a number of years and are not likely to be completely replaced by digital instruments for certain applications. Broadly, the analog instruments (and for that matter digital instruments) may be classified according to the quantity they measure. For example...
