analog display
Hands showing time
An analog display shows information through continuous physical indicators rather than numerical digits—a clock with moving hands, a speedometer with a sweeping needle, a thermometer with rising mercury.
The position along a scale represents the value, letting you gauge quantities at a glance: The analog display showed the tank was nearly empty.
