Morning All! I`m struggling with 20 ac. Must be an anagram of blouse, but I`ve searched everywhere for a word - possibly meaning dagger ??
Also I put in Lion`s den, then realised `den` was wrong. Lastly 18d. `scales help calibration (5)
I have : ? I ? R ?
Glad of help, Mags.

Hi Mags
20a is Obelus (dagger)
For the scales, think of the Star sign
