I'm at a loss. I have never taken one apart. There is a metal strip inside?
I have always believed (but not known) that the scale had something to do with how the light refracted off, who knows what. The metal strip?
I'll have to do some research when not so busy.
Yah ATCs do have a metal strip which contracts/retracts with temperature to compensate the temperature effect on the scale. That's why its suggested to take reading after keeping the water for some time (30 secs is a commonly practiced one) so that the strip can adjust the temperature accordingly.
