I manage to catch CO and son overturning electron camera (10)
I believe the answer is:
iconoscope
'electron camera' is the definition.
'Iconoscope' can be an answer for 'camera' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'electron' bit.
'i manage to catch co and son overturning' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'cope' (manage can mean to cope or do well).
'to catch' is an insertion indicator.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'overturning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'son' reversed gives 'nos'.
'i'+'cope'='icope'
'co'+'nos'='conos'
'icope' placed around 'conos' is 'ICONOSCOPE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
