Principal metal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lead

This clue is a double definition.

'principal' is the first definition.
(I know that principal can be written as lead)

'metal' is the second definition.
(I know that lead is a type of metal)

(Other definitions for lead that I've seen before include "First put down spade, say" , "Primary" , "writing material" , "Precede; element" , "Guide, direct" .)
