The case connector is telescopingly received within the stem connector and is rotatably adjustable. Means are provided in association with the stem connector to lock the case connector in any desired rotative position. Accordingly, the case, pointer, shaft and bi-metal coil may be rotated to any desired position for easy reading of the calibrated scale, or if necessary, removed from or replaced in the stem connector.
