Hatch ‘wrote a check’ for meteorological kit (11)
I believe the answer is:
weathercock
'meteorological kit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'hatch wrote a check' is the wordplay.
'wrote a check' can be anagrammed to 'WEATHERCOCK'.
Though, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weathercock that I've seen before include "Kind of vane" , "Vane shaped like a bird" .)
