Army regulation about cutting weight which covers gear in transit (7)
I believe the answer is:
pitarah
I'm afraid I can't even guess how this answer relates to the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for pitarah that I've seen is " gearbox".)
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
