Victorian device indicative of changing times? (7,7)
I believe the answer is:
bathing machine
'indicative of changing times?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'victorian device' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'device' could be 'machine' (machine is a kind of device) and 'machine' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bathing' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bathing machine that I've seen is " for a change".)
