Channel some stationer's inventory (8)
I believe the answer is:
penstock
'channel' is the definition.
(penstock is a kind of channel)
'some stationer's inventory' is the wordplay.
'some stationer' becomes 'pen' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'inventory' becomes 'stock' (synonyms).
'pen'+'stock'='PENSTOCK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for penstock that I've seen is " Supply of water".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
