the body being a flexible wire or ribbon

Full Title

Measuring temperature based on the expansion or contraction of a material (G01K9/00 takes precedence; giving other than momentary value of temperature G01K3/00) > the material being a solid > constrained so that expansion or contraction causes a deformation of the solid > the solid body being constrained at more than one point, e.g. rod, plate, diaphragm (G01K5/62 takes precedence) > the body being a flexible wire or ribbon
