Vern;
When the plate expands on being heated, will the slot grow
smaller, or larger; and then, in either event, singularly in length or
width, or both?
Thanks as usual for your input on these most interesting (to me, any
way) subjects.

The slot will grow right along with the plate. Imagine the plate with the
slots and reeds printed on a sheet of rubber and the rubber being stretched
or unstretched in all dimensions by 10ppm/degF
