In my original Canon UK 1980 edition of the A1 manual the reference is to 'mechanical' switches, and perusal of the original Japanese documents indicates that in translation the word mechanical would have been used. Perhaps it's an age thing, but I do not equate 'analog' with semi-conductor switches on cameras of that era.
