I cheated some on that find. I remember that I had been in a discussion on this before, so I typed in "thermostat" and my user name, and came up with only a couple of threads that applied. I found the link to your thread farily quickly.

I had the circular kind.

Our factory thermostat worked great after the adjustment. I set the thermostat to the general temperature that we wanted, then adjusted accordingly after a cycle or 2.
