Are you sure you have the correct "small volume" - the answer isn't a "type of" anything, it's an exact synonym for the word "type"

You're right of course. Serves me right for not using SI units. The answer I had did seem a little geeky for a crossword.

I have also spotted the special feature, which seems obvious now. I solved it fairly early on and then forgot all about it, but I remember thinking the clue was rather strange.

I went through the exact same thought process, Rainman - both for 8a and the theme:-)

‘Way’ in the sense of ‘direction’.
What is the direction of all the solutions that follow the solution to the clue in question?

Thanks Rogissimo, and I do see that, but it's the "my" that has puzzled, perplexed even!

You have to think of the clue as having personality, if you see what I mean. See also those riddles that go ‘my first is in sun but also in moon’. Does that help?!

(On reflection it’s perhaps a bit glitchy I think, because ‘those’ refers to solutions whereas ‘my’ seems to refer to the clue)

I think I see what you mean Rogissimo, "those going my way" is referring to other clues 'like me', so to speak.

Hi Samuipete,

15d is also a good way in, similar to 3d.
