'copies' is the definition.
(I know this)

'rap by oscar and gordon bennett' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'rap' could be 'knock' (synonyms) and 'knock' is located in the answer.
'by' could be 'of' and 'of' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
