Smooth metal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iron

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'smooth' is the first definition.
(to smooth down with an iron)

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

(Other definitions for iron that I've seen before include "Smooth - driver?" , "Wellington was known as the .... Duke" , "Heavy metallic element" , "rations in emergency?" , "Smooth - metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
