An improved analog meter is provided having no moving parts. This meter comprises a tapered resistor device having a tapered, electrically resistive element which develops a non-uniform temperature profile on electrical energization and a heat sensitive element operatively associated with the tapered resistive element. The heat sensitive medium employed is a reversible medium which either undergoes a change in color or contrast when heated to an appropriate temperature and when viewed under appropriate illumination. A method of metering employing this device is also disclosed.
