Top managers on strike in computer facility (9)
I believe the answer is:
clipboard
'strike in computer facility' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'top managers on' is the wordplay.
'top' becomes 'clip' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'managers' becomes 'board' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'clip'+'board'='CLIPBOARD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clipboard that I've seen before include "text-copying facility" , "What may lie behind writing" .)
