Record content of Royal Society travellers (4)
I believe the answer is:
reps
'travellers' is the definition.
(as in sales reps)
'record content of royal society' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'record' could be 'ep' (abbreviation for extended play record) and 'ep' is found within the answer.
'royal' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'society' could be 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations) and 's' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reps that I've seen before include "Agents" , "Travelling salespeople, in short" , "Salesmen, in short" , "Salesman, in short" , "Travelling salesmen" .)
