The thermometer has a metal pointer that moves up and down a circular scale. The pointer is mounted on a coiled piece of metal called a bimetallic strip. The hotter the temperature, the more the bimetallic strip expands, and the more it pushes the pointer up the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rototherm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132853117185,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/5122\/8972\/files\/Vintage_Rototherm_Desk_Thermometer_In_A_Black_Leather_Surround_1.jpg?v=1740591448","url":"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/vintage-rototherm-desk-thermometer-in-a-black-leather-surround","provider":"Mullard Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
