Filled the grid, but have missing clashes / misprints. I'd appreciate help with the suspect bottom left corner please.

There may be a misprint in the definition, or a clash in the answer.

24ac Like a gravtitational unit of measurement (4) Have P_N_

Thought the answer could be PINT, with NT / I NT being a gravitational unit but how I'd get p / pi from the clue, I don't know. Change like to pike?

25d He operates wheeled platform as before on lines - that is before origin of railway (7)
Have TOLLIER from other clues, but that's not a word.
Should it be a coalminer?

Thanks so much everyone who posted. That clears up my confusion, and hope I remember that word in future. It will come in useful again, I'm sure.

The railway dolly is often seen in old black and white movies, but now used on film sets for moving cameras

Yes, I remembered seeing it but, frustratingly, couldn't remember what it was called.

Have found the ten, thanks, Sunray. Which I think your hint was leading me towards?

Would much appreciate the clue number from which the I misprint comes. Have got the grid filled (thanks to help), and both words now - but can't find the clue into which I can substitute one letter with the I needed for the thing which might help.
