Brick carrier (3)
'brick carrier' is the definition.
(a hod is used for carrying bricks)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for hod that I've seen before include "Coal scuttle" , "Brick-carrier's holder" , "Brick carrier of shoddy type" , "Trough on pole for carrying bricks" , "Coal-scuttle" .)
This might be a double definition.
'brick' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'carrier' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stretcher that I've seen before include "Elastic item" , "for carrying the sick" , "one yawning?" , "that can carry some cases" , "Carrier for person lying down" .)
