Anyone have a clue what to do with the across clues????

Try this link - other doesn't seem to work

It seems to be words that can be represented as a single letter like 16a H - Hydrant

But having just started it, I can already see problems!

I have ?N?H?Y??? for 9a and nothing fits!

dot dash dot dash - I have the same for 9a + the "A" from 4d.
49a answer could be WRONG - fits with the 2 down clues.
Your idea works for 41a too.
Back to the drawing board for some more across clues!

dot dash dot dash - yes 9a does work -"a" can mean "in the year"!

It works for 40a too.

Although if I have 39d right - 51a starts Zm????

My curry is ready now, so I'll check in later!

51a Z can stand for impedance in Physics
Enjoy your curry!

All complete! Hard luck for anyone without a Chambers!

is this a case of looking for words that fit?
If so I will not attempt it!

No - the across clues are all abbreviations found in Chambers.
e.g. 32a Q can be an abbrev for quetzal
