'Beam', part of personnel in Telegraph (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lintel

'beam' is the definition.
(lintel is a kind of beam)

'part of personnel in telegraph' is the wordplay.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LINTEL' is hidden in the letters of 'personnel in telegraph'.

(Other definitions for lintel that I've seen before include "Horizontal beam over a doorway" , "Support across doorway" , "Supporter" , "Supporting member" , "Horizontal timber support" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
