Crossword Genius

Phone fan? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blower

This clue is a double definition.

'phone' is the first definition.
(informal term for telephone)

'fan?' is the second definition.
(I know that blower is a type of fan)

(Other definitions for blower that I've seen before include "It produces an air blast" , "Fan - telephone (slang)" , "Speaking-tube" , "One producing current" , "Fan; telephone (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
