It goes round and round and back and forth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotor

I believe this is a double definition.

'it goes round and round' is the first definition.

'back and forth' is the second definition.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "Distributor arm" , "It goes around" , "... and another" , "Turning part of a mechanism" , "Helicopter vane" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
