Crossword Genius

Inventor some hit, and so disturbed (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thomas edison

'inventor' is the definition.
(Thomas Edison is an example)

'some hit and so disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'some'+'hit'+'and'+'so'='somehitandso'
'somehitandso' is an anagram of 'THOMAS EDISON'.

(Another definition for thomas edison that I've seen is " Phonograph inventor".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
