Measures, estimates (6)

I believe the answer is:

gauges

This clue is a double definition.

'measures' is the first definition.
(gauge can mean to measure)

'estimates' is the second definition.
('gauge' can be a synonym of 'estimate')

(Another definition for gauges that I've seen is " Measuring instruments".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
