      each car a train, and can be caused to operate in all the

      engine.

   continuous impost. see impost.

   syn: continuous, continual.

   usage: continuous is the stronger word, and denotes that the
          continuity or union of parts is absolute and
          uninterrupted; as, a continuous sheet of ice; a
          continuous flow of water or of argument. so daniel
          webster speaks of "a continuous and unbroken strain of
          the martial airs of england." continual, in most
          cases, marks a close and unbroken succession of
          things, rather than absolute continuity. thus we speak
          of continual showers, implying a repetition with
          occasional interruptions; we speak of a person as
          liable to continual calls, or as subject to continual
          applications for aid, etc. see constant.
