ABSTRACT:
An elongated bimetal member has a transverse curvature opposing temperature warp and a longitudinal curvature aiding temperature warp. The transverse curvature maintains the member straight in a longitudinal direction until the sum of the longitudinal temperature warp forces and the bias of the longitudinal curvature exceed the retaining forces of the transverse curvature.
