Supplies weight to tilt part of mechanism (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
gear wheel
'mechanism' is the definition.
(I know that gear wheel is a type of wheel)
'supplies weight to tilt' is the wordplay.
'supplies' becomes 'gear' (gear can mean supplies or equipment).
'weight' becomes 'w' (short for weight).
'to tilt' becomes 'heel' (I've seen this before).
'gear'+'w'+'heel'='GEAR-WHEEL'
'part of' acts as a link.
(Another definition for gear wheel that I've seen is " Toothed disc".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
