Apparatus with the same size of manual? (8)
I believe the answer is:
equipage
'apparatus' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for equipage that I've seen before include "Attendants" , "apparatus" , "Retinue" , "carriage" , "Coach and team" .)
