Driver found stuck in middle of dam (5)
I believe the answer is:
servo
This clue could be a double definition.
'driver' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'stuck in middle of dam' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'found' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for servo that I've seen before include "Powered control mechanism" , "Mechanism augmenting force or motion" , "Control system" , "Control motor" , "Mechanism amplifying forces" .)
