Crossword Genius

Press made of metal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iron

I believe this is a double definition.

'press' is the first definition.
(ironing is a kind of pressing)

'metal' is the second definition.
(iron is a kind of metal)

'made of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for iron that I've seen before include "Magnetic metallic element" , "Smooth things" , "great strength" , "Box-shaped instrument of torture -- no meridian (anag)" , "Smooth (clothes)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
