1. A .[.level.]. controlling device comprising:

  • position sensing transducer means having an elongated transducing surface for detecting the presence and position of an actuating device that is arbitrarily positionable by a user on the transducing surface independent of any previous position of the actuating device on the transducing surface, said detection being independent of the electrical properties of the human body; and

    circuit means connected to the transducer means for producing a fist signal representative of the fact that an actuating device is present at the transducing surface and a second signal representative of the position of the actuating device at the transducing surface for controlling .[.the level of.]. a utilization device.
